Term
what are examples of active transport?
Definition
when a molecule is able to bind with a protein receptor, it unlocks the membrane and gains entry to cytoplasm.
these molecules able to bind are specific, once the substance is inside, it can change cell function by reactions that occur.

rna subunits, nucliotides made up of sugar, phosphate, with a nitrogen base
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
a network of connecting sacs and canals, wound up like ribbon candy throughout the cytoplasm, they carry substances from one area to another within the cell transport lipids, proteins,and carbohydrates to the gogli apparatus.
Term
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
rough for receiving and transporting newly made protien which are sent to other chemical processing areas in the cell
Term
gogli apparatus
Definition
stacks of flat sacs- packaging and processing center; processes lipids, carbohydrates and protein material and packs the material into vesicles.
Term
vesicles
Definition
these are the bubbles that are stocked at the gogli apparatus, then float to the surface and fuse with the cell membrane, and open to the outside of the cell
Term
mitochondria
Definition
energy for the cell, power plant... carry out cellular respirations to create atp ( krebs cycle) , this is the cells energy supply. unique because they carry their own dna specific to function and structure.

tail like structure, on the outside of cell, swimmers, like sperm cells, the only cells in humans with a flagellum.
Term
nucleus
Definition
brain of cell, controls every organelle in the cytoplasm. controls cell reproduction. surrounded by neucleoplasm, like being enclosed in a neuclear envelope. contains dna and rna of cell
