  2. Ectoplasm (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoplasm_(cell_biology)

    Ectoplasm (also exoplasm) is the non-granulated outer part of a cell's cytoplasm, while endoplasm is its often granulated inner layer. It is clear, and protects as well as transports things within the cell. [1] Moreover, large numbers of actin filaments frequently occur in the ectoplasm, which form an elastic support for the cell membrane. [2]

  3. Cytoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm

    The concentrated inner area is called the endoplasm and the outer layer is called the cell cortex, or ectoplasm. Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is a signaling activity for metabolic processes. [3] In plants, movement of the cytoplasm around vacuoles is known as cytoplasmic streaming.

  4. Endoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasm

    Though not visible, the ectoplasm resides directly internal to the plasma membrane. Endoplasm generally refers to the inner (often granulated), dense part of a cell's cytoplasm. This is opposed to the ectoplasm which is the outer (non-granulated) layer of the cytoplasm, which is typically watery and immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane ...

    The genus Aplanochytrium is part of the class Labyrinthulomycetes.It is a sister genus of Labyrinthula and thraustochytrids.The major characteristic of all three genera is the production of an extension of the plasma membrane and the ectoplasm called the ectoplasmic net, but its use is different in each genera.

    As its growth is completely dependent upon photosynthesis. This results in the 50–100 m water level inside the ocean. Growth can also come from land factors, for example minerals that are dissolved from rocks, mineral nutrients from generations of plants and animals ,that made its way into the photic zone.

  7. Detritus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detritus

    In recent years, the word detritus has also come to be used with aquariums (the word "aquarium" is a general term for any installation for keeping aquatic animals). When animals such as fish are kept in an aquarium, they produce substances such as excreta, mucus, and dead skin cast off during moulting. These substances naturally generate ...

  8. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogenesis

    In plants, organogenesis occurs continuously and only stops when the plant dies. In the shoot, the shoot apical meristems regularly produce new lateral organs (leaves or flowers) and lateral branches. In the root, new lateral roots form from weakly differentiated internal tissue (e.g. the xylem-pole pericycle in the model plant Arabidopsis ...

  9. Ichthyoplankton - Wikipedia

    The fish they chose to investigate was the yellow tang, because when a larva of this fish find a suitable reef it stays in the general area for the rest of its life. Thus, it is only as drifting larvae that the fish can migrate significant distances from where they are born. [22] The tropical yellow tang is much sought after by the aquarium trade
