Antibodies
bind to antigens as an important response of our immune system to infections
red blood cells
bind O2 in the lungs and enable O2 transport through arteries of the circulatory system
Amoeba
are small single celled eukaryotic organisms that feed thrugh phagocytosis
Ribosomes
are the sites of protein synthesis and produce linked chains of amino acids.This process is called translation
Egg cells/sperm cells
sexual reproductive units of most animals and their genetic information is reduced in a process called meiosis
phospholipids
lipid like molecules that form the semipermeable membrane of cells and cell organelles
nuclears
is enclosed by a double layered membrane and contains the genetic information of eukaryotic cells
t-RNA
molecules bind to specific amino acids and deliver theses amino acids to the ribosome
glucose
an energy rich molecule obtained from nutrition and converts into ATP in specialized cell organelles-the Mitochondria
viruses
represent soe of the smallest infective agents that can cause disease
adenine
one of the 4 bases that form nucleotides in DNA or RNA
Amino acids
20 different variations of ac are linked in a well defined sequence in order to produce specific proteins in the human body.This sequence of specific proteins is encoded in genes on chromosomes
chloroplasts
absorb visible light in the blue,red and yellow spectrum to provide the enery for photosynthesis in autotrophic cells
Microorganism
single-celled or colonial reproductive and evolving life forms that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope
prokaryotic cell
cells that lack a cell nucleus and other membrane. Genome consists of simple circular strand of DNA
eukaryotic cell
cells with a cell nucleus and membrane. Bound cell oganelles. Genome is arranged in complex chromosomes.
