9490354Cytoskeletona microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence
9490355Chloroplastuses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food
9490356Nucleusa part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
9490357Lysosomesintracellular digestion
9490358Golgi Apparatusa net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions)
9490554ECMfunctions in support, adhesion, movement, and regulation in animal cells
9490555Nucleolusa small round body of protein in a cell nucleus
9490556Smooth ERER that has no ribosomes
9490557Rough ERER that is dotted with ribosomes
9490558Collagenmost abundant fibers in the connective tissue
9490559Middle lamellathe thin film between the cell walls of adjacent plant cells
9490560Microscopyresearch with the use of microscopes
9667893Gap junctiontwo cells are held together by interlocking junctional proteins called connexons. They are common among epithelial cells, where the movement of ions helps coordinate function such as the beating of cilia. They are essential the the coordination of muscle cell contractions in cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
9742868Exocytosisthe cell secretes macromolecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane
9742869Endocytosisthe cell takes in macromolecules and particulate matter by forming new vesicles from the plasma membrane
9742870integral proteinproteins embedded in the bilayer
9742871Isotonicof or involving muscular contraction in which tension is constant while length changes
9742872hypertonic(of a solution) having a higher osmotic pressure than a comparison solution
