"Metabolites are the intermediates and products of metabolism. The term metabolite is usually restricted to small molecules. Metabolites have various functions, including fuel, structure, signaling, stimulatory and inhibitory effects on enzymes, catalytic activity of their own (usually as a cofactor to ...
The process diagram details the steps by which liquid chocolcate is produced from cocoa beans. The process illustrated above details how cocoa beans are harvested in order to produce liquid chocolate. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that this combination of a man-made ...
Inside of the sporangium meiosis takes place where four genetically diverse cells are produced. These specialized spores leave the sporangium to grow on their own and in time will grow its own gametophyte which starts the whole process over again....
Here is the representation of the diagram portraying two different processes for manufacturing black tea.
Seminiferous tubules, where the sperms are produced through a process called spermatogenesis. Interstitial cells are packing tissues between the coils of the seminiferous tubules. The interstitial cells, also called Leydig cells, produce the male hormone testosterone. ...
It interacts with the inner membrane to carry out the main energy-producing functions of the mitochondria. It contains the enzymes and chemicals that take part in the krebs cycle to produce ATP from glucose and fatty acids. The matrix is where the mitochondrial genome made up of circular DNA ...
Also called karyoplasm, this semi-aqueous material is similar to the cytoplasm and is composed mainly of water with dissolved salts, enzymes, and organic molecules suspended within. The nucleolus and chromosomes are surrounded by nucleoplasm, which functions to cushion and protect the contents of the...
While the mitochondria might be the powerhouse of the cell, theperoxisomeis a central part of the cell's metabolism. That's because peroxisomes help absorb nutrients within your cells and come packed with digestive enzymes to break them down. Peroxisomes also contain and neutralize hydrogen peroxide...
enzymes, de Duve named the particles “lysosomes.” A number of additional enzymes have subsequently been identified in lysosomes (Table 19-2). Most of the chemical substances present in cells, including proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and lipids, are degraded by thes...
These organelles most of them are similar to the animal organelles performing the same functions as those of the animal cell.Organelleshave a wide range of responsibilities that include everything from producing hormones and enzymes to providing energy for a plant cell. ...
