|
Plasma membrane
|
Term for the membrane that surrounds the cell
|
|
GAG
|
Term for the carbohydrate coat on the plasma membrane's exterior.
|
|
Cytosolic ribosome
|
This organelle or cellular structure synthesizes cytosolic proteins
|
|
Intermediate filament
|
This cytoskeletal element is used primarily for structure but not cellular movement and intracytoplasmic transport
|
|
G-actin
|
This is the monomer that is used to build microfilaments
|
|
GAG
|
This is the highly hydrated carbohydrate the composes much of the animal cell's extracellular matrix
|
|
Proteogylcan
|
These are the extracellualr matrix proteins that associate with the carbohydrates from the GAG
|
|
Mitochondrion
|
This organelle is essential for aerobic synthesis of ATP in animal cells
|
|
Smooth ER
|
This organelle serves as a calcium sequestering compartment that activate calmodulin protein
|
|
Rough ER
|
This organelle synthesizes secreted proteins, lysosomal hydrolase enzymes, and integral membrane proteins rather than cytosolic proteins
|
|
Secretion vesicles
|
These are membrane enclosed bags that release proteins to a cell's exterior during exocytosis
|
|
Lysosome
|
These organelles are membrane bound bags that contain digestive enzymes that function in an acidic pH
|
|
Peroxisomes
|
This organelle assists in detoxification of alcohol and the initial stages of lipid metabolizes, but does not sequester calcium or hydrolize proteins
|
|
Chelator
|
This chemical binds divalent cations and can distrupt the attachment of some peripheral membrane proteins to the plasma membrane
|
|
Nucleus
|
This is the oragnelle or subcellular location where transcription of mRNA occurs
