Study Notes
Cell Cycle
- M phase is the stage of the cell cycle where cell division occurs, resulting in the formation of two daughter cells.
Cell Organelles
- The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and modify proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, and then package them for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
Cell Types
- A characteristic of prokaryotic cells is that they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Plant Processes
- The process by which water moves through a plant, from the roots to the leaves, and is then released into the air as water vapor is called transpiration.
Biomolecules
- The term for the 'building blocks of life' is cells.
