Document Summary

Dna and rna (deoxyribonucleic acid, and ribonucleic acid) Proteins can be put together in any order. Ribosomes: sites of protein synthesis: free ribosomes, ribosomes in er. Proteins may be modified in rough endoplasmic reticulum lumen then shipped out in transport vesicles. Linear chain that folds us and becomes a glycoprotein (destined for plasma membrane. Encloses most of the genes in the cell. Only things that are supposed to get through nuclear pore will. Phagocytosis: using lysosome and whatever digestive enzyme is available for digestion. Autophagy: eat it self, recycle rather than throw things away. Large central vacuole: found in many plant cells, occupies most of the content of plant cells. Obtain energy for cells by breaking down fuel molecules using oxygen. Own dna but still dependent on nuclear dna. Capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy. Endosymbiont theory: two organisms helping each other, living together.
