|
Term
|
Definition
transport vesicles: transport proteins from golgi apparatus toward cell membrane
lysosomes: organelles that contain enzymes to breakdown food molecules, capture bacteria and debris (rough ER enzyme -> golgi apparatus + enzymes -> vesciles -> lysosomes)
peroxisomes: organelles containing several enzymes to dispose of toxic substances. orgininate at ER. liver and kidney cells contain peroxisomes.
