Golgi apparatusThe Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is HelicaseEnzymes that unwind nucleic acid strands using ATP hydrolysis.Ligand (biochemistry)A substance that binds to a biomolecule for a biological purpose.Lipid bilayerThin polar membrane forming a barrier around all cells.LysosomeMembrane-bound organelles that serve as the cell's degradation center.Membrane potentialThe electric potential difference across a biological cell membrane.Membrane proteinMembrane proteins are common, diverse, and key drug targets.Membrane transportMechanisms regulating solute passage through biological membranes.MicrotubuleCytoskeletal biopolymers providing structure and intracellular transport.MitochondriaDouble-membraned organelles that produce cellular energy as ATP.Mitochondrial DNAMitochondrial DNA is a small, maternally inherited genome essential for energy conversion.Molecular biologyStudy of molecular structures and processes in cells.MyosinMotor proteins driving actin-based motility and muscle contraction.Nuclear envelopeDouble lipid bilayer enclosing the eukaryotic nucleus.NucleolusLargest nuclear structure; site of ribosome biogenesis.Passive transportMembrane transport driven by entropy, not cellular energy.PeroxisomeOrganelles that generate and break down hydrogen peroxide.PlasmodesmaMicroscopic channels enabling plant cell communication.Plastid DNAPlastid DNA (ptDNA), also known as chloroplast DNA (cpDNA or ctDNA) in photosynthetic orgaPost-transcriptional modificationChemical alterations to RNA after transcription produce functional molecules.Post-translational modificationCovalent protein changes after synthesis, diversifying function and regulation.Programmed cell deathCell death from internal events, crucial for development and homeostasis.ProteasomeProtein complexes that degrade proteins via proteolysis.Protein foldingPhysical process forming functional protein three-dimensional structure.
