Document Summary
Chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells: used in engineering tissue plasminogen activator. Chlorophyll: pigment compound in chloroplasts which helps to absorb light. Chloroplast: organelle in plants in charge of photosynthesis. Cytoplasm: fluid in cell within which organelles are suspended. Hormone: chemical which can regulate the activity of a or a group of cells. Hela cells: common lab cell, human epithelial cells. Hydrophilic: attracted to / soluble in water. Hydrophobic: not attracted to / difficult to dissolve in water. Lipids: energy storing macromolecule made of glycerides and fatty acids. Lysosome: waste processing organelle, contains degradative enzymes. Messenger rna (mrna: copies sequence from dna to be delivered to trna at the ribosome during protein synth. Mitochondria: converts compounds into energy in cell. Nucleic acids: information containing biological macromolecules. Nucleotides: alanine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil; make up nucleic acids. Nucleus: central control organelle of a cell, contains genetic information. Organ: collection of tissues as a functional group.
