Definition
the lumen
Term
What is the process of the Golgi Apparatus?
Definition
  • Transport Vesicles come into the "receiving" side and deposit proteins- the proteins move through the apparatus and then exit in more transport vesicles- vesicles can go a number of places but mostly they move up to the plasma membrane
Term

Definition

lysosomes

  • gets rid of waste
Term
What are lysosomes
Definition

membrane bound sack of digestive proteins and molecules

  • They degrade other things

 

Term
How do lysosomes work
Definition
  • They fuse with vesicles or vacuoles and dump their digestive stuff and the internal of the vesicles gets chewed up and destroyed
  • lysosomes cane run around and destroy stuff either
Term
What does the lysosomes digestion allow?
Definition
  • how cell food is started being metabolized
  • in some immune cells, this is how invaders are destroyed
