  2. Prokaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote

    Most prokaryotes are between 1 μm and 10 μm, but they can vary in size from 0.2 μm (Mycoplasma genitalium) to 750 μm (Thiomargarita namibiensis). Prokaryotic cell structure. Description. Flagellum (not always present) Long, whip-like protrusion that aids cellular locomotion used by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Cell membrane.

  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. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Category. v. t. e. Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1][2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural ...

  5. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') (archaically cytocentre [1]) is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome provides structure for the cell. The centrosome is thought to have evolved ...

  6. Unicellular organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicellular_organism

    Unicellular organism. A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of a single cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. Organisms fall into two general categories: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms. Most prokaryotes are unicellular and are classified into ...

  7. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The DNA of a prokaryotic cell consists of a single circular chromosome that is in direct contact with the cytoplasm. The nuclear region in the cytoplasm is called the nucleoid. Most prokaryotes are the smallest of all organisms, ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 μm in diameter. [1] [page needed] A prokaryotic cell has three regions:

  8. Endosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosome

    Bar, 500 nm. 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 ...

  9. Symbiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis

    Symbiogenesis (endosymbiotic theory, or serial endosymbiotic theory[ 2 ]) is the leading evolutionary theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. [ 3 ] The theory holds that mitochondria, plastids such as chloroplasts, and possibly other organelles of eukaryotic cells are descended from formerly free-living prokaryotes ...
