Ribosomes
________ are observed in all prokaryotic cells and are found throughout the cell interior.
Animal cells
________ contain organelles called lysosomes that function as recycling center.
Microtubules
________ have the largest diameter of the three cytoskeletal filaments.
Myosin
________ is a motor protein- a protein that converts the chemical energy in ATP into the kinetic energy of mechanical work, just as a cars motor converts the chemical energy in gasoline into spinning wheels.
Cytokinesis
________ " (cell- moving) "is 1e final stage in cell division when the cytoplasm is divided to form two cells.
inner membrane
The solution enclosed within the ________ is called the mitochondrial matrix.
Golgi apparatus
Even though lysosomes are physically separated from the ________ and the endoplasmic reticulum, these various organelles jointly form a key functional grouping referred to as the endomembrane system.
plasma membrane
In addition, the movement called cell crawling occurs when groups of actin filaments grow, causing bulges in the ________ that extend and move the cell.
George Palade
________ and colleagues did pioneering research on the secretory pathway using a pulse chase experiment to track protein movement.
differential centrifugation
A technique called ________ was particularly important because it allowed researchers to isolate particular cell components and analyze their chemical composition.
prokaryotic flagellum
A(n) ________ (plural: flagella) is assembled from many different proteins at the cell surface of certain species.
exocytosis
When ________ occurs, the vesicle membrane and plasma membrane make contact.
photosynthesis
Most algal and plant cells possess an organelle called the chloroplast, in which sunlight is converted to chemical energy during ________.
glyoxysomes
In the leaves of plants, specialized peroxisomes called ________ are packed with enzymes that oxidize fatty acids to form a compound that can be used to store energy for the cell.
fungi
The cells of plants, ________, and certain other eukaryotes contain a prominent organelle called a vacuole.
Plasmids
________ contain genes but are physically independent of the cellular chromosome.
messenger
Molecules called ________ RNAs (mRNA) carry the information required to manufacture proteins.
experimental cells
The "Pulse: "Expose ________ to a high concentration of a modified amino acid for a short time.
Chase
The "________: "End the pulse by washing away the modified amino acid and replacing it with the normal version of the same molecule.
Transmission
________ electron microscope, which passes a beam of electrons through extremely thin sections of cells to visualize their internal structure.
Cells
________ are also involved in recycling large structures and organelles that exist within the cytoplasm through a process called autophagy.
proton pumps
As ________ continue to lower the early endosome's pH, it undergoes a series of processing steps that cause it to mature into a late endosome.
Nuclear lamins
________, which make up the nuclear lamina layer.
endocytosis
As its name implies, receptor mediated ________ is a sequence of events that begins when particles outside the cell bind to receptors on the plasma membrane.
prokaryotic chromosomes
While ________ are in a loosely defined nucleoid region, eukaryotic chromosomes are enclosed within a membrane bound compartment called the nucleus.
fimbria
A(n) ________ (plural: fimbriae) is a needle- like projection that extends from the plasma membrane of some bacteria and promotes attachment to other cells or surfaces.
circular chromosome
The region of the cell where the ________ is located is called the nucleoid.
unique double membrane structure
It is enclosed by a(n) ________ called the nuclear envelope.
Cytoplasmic streaming
________ is the directed flow of cytosol and organelles that is often seen within plant and fungal cells.
polymers of sugar
Because carbohydrates are ________ monomers, the addition of one or more carbohydrate groups is called glycosylation.
eukaryotic flagellum
The ________ is closely related to a structure called the cilium (plural: cilia), which is a short, hairlike projection that is also found in some eukaryotic cells.
organelle
A(n) ________ is a compartment inside the cell- often bounded by a membrane- that contains enzymes or structures specialized for a particular function.
cytoskeleton
The ________ is a dense and complex network of fibers that helps maintain cell shape by providing structural support.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The ________ or smooth ER are parts of the ER that are free of ribosomes that appear smooth and even.
Golgi apparatus
The ________ consists of a set of membranous compartments called cisternae.
