Document Summary
Transiently formed, membrane-enclosed products synthesized within or engulfed by the cell. Facilitate intracellular reactions involving degradation synthesis, and transformation of small organic molecules. Transport or store products being moved within, out of, or into the cell, respectively. Long, slender, hollow tubes composed of tubulin molecules. Maintains asymmetric cell shapes and coordinate complex cell movements, specifically serving as highways for transport of secretory vesicles within cell, serving as main structural and functional component of cilia and flagella, and assembling into mitotic spindle. Intertwined helical chains of actin molecules; micro laments composed of myosin molecules also present in muscle cells. Play a vital role in various cellular contractile systems, including muscle contraction and amoeboid movement; serve as a mechanical stiffener for microvilli. Intermediary metabolism (occurs in cytosol and involves thousands of enzymes) Refers collectively to large set of chemical reactions that happen inside the cell involes degradation, synthesis and transformation of small organic molecules like simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids.
