Golgi apparatus
|
|
membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes, abundant in phagocytes and necessary for intracellular digestion.
|
Lysosomes
|
|
The Golgi complex is like the cell's packaging and shipping department. It is made up of a stack of flattened membrane sacks. Some of the protein being transported through the canals of the endoplasmic reticulum ends up in the Golgi complex. Here it may be joined with other molecules before being "packaged". The packages are little pieces of the Golgi complex which break off and form "vesicles". The vesicles move to the cell membrane and fuse with it. It may the squirt its contents outside of the cell as a secretion. Or the product assembled in the Golgi complex may be a new piece of the cell membrane itself. In that case the vesicle fuses with the membrane and becomes a part of it

Water--H2O
|
Water makes up 60—80% of the volume of most living cells.
It is a polar molecule, meaning that it has unequal electron bond sharing. Water is the universal solvent. Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules as well as between other strongly polar molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the high surface tension of water and are responsible for the three-dimensional shape of proteins and DNA. |
|
Water molecules showing the hydrogen bonding that exists between negatively charged oxygen and positively charged hydrogen.
|
|
|
Acids and Bases
|
Acids dissociate in water to yield hydrogen ions and anions (negatively charged particles).
Bases absorb hydrogen ions. The relative concentration of hydrogen ions is measured in concentration units called pH units. The pH scale extends from 0—14; a pH of 7 is neutral; a pH below 7 is acidic; a pH above 7 is basic or alkaline. Acids and bases neutralize each other. When mixed together they form a salt and water. Buffers resist large fluctuations in pH that would damage living tissues. |
