  2. Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈɡɒldʒi /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [ 1 ] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

  3. Lysosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome

    Lysosome. Centrosome. Cell membrane. A lysosome (/ ˈlaɪsəˌsoʊm /) is a single membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. [1][2] They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that digest many kinds of biomolecules. A lysosome has a specific composition, of both its membrane proteins and its lumenal proteins.

  4. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes (endomembranes) that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. In eukaryotes the organelles of the endomembrane system include: the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum ...

  5. Endosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosome

    Endosomes are a collection of intracellular sorting organelles in eukaryotic cells. They are parts of the endocytic membrane transport pathway originating from the trans Golgi network. Molecules or ligands internalized from the plasma membrane can follow this pathway all the way to lysosomes for degradation or can be recycled back to the cell ...

  6. Cytoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm

    Cytoplasm. In cell biology, the cytoplasm describes all material within a eukaryotic cell, enclosed by the cell membrane, except for the cell nucleus. The material inside the nucleus and contained within the nuclear membrane is termed the nucleoplasm. The main components of the cytoplasm are the cytosol (a gel-like substance), the organelles ...

  7. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    Intracellular transport is the movement of vesicles and substances within a cell. Intracellular transport is required for maintaining homeostasis within the cell by responding to physiological signals. [1] Proteins synthesized in the cytosol are distributed to their respective organelles, according to their specific amino acid’s sorting ...

  8. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    The proteins contain a signal sequence that allows the Golgi apparatus to recognize and direct it to the correct place. Golgi apparatus also produce glycoproteins and glycolipids. [21] Lysosome: The lysosome functions to degrade material brought in from the outside of the cell or old organelles. This contains many acid hydrolases, proteases ...

    Golgi apparatus – A eukaryotic organelle that processes and packages macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell. Nuclear envelope – It is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear membrane consists of two lipid bilayers:
