Endomembrane System: Digestive Organelles definitions Flashcards

Acidic vesicles in animal cells containing enzymes for breaking down cellular debris and recycling materials.

Vesicles in eukaryotic cells with enzymes for breaking down toxic compounds like hydrogen peroxide and fatty acids.

Large vesicle in plant cells for degrading molecules and storing water to maintain turgor pressure.

A group of organelles in eukaryotic cells involved in synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials.

Proteins in lysosomes that break down food, debris, and damaged organelles within the cell.

Pressure exerted by the central vacuole's water content against the cell wall, crucial for plant structure.

Organelle where lysosomes originate, involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins.

Site of peroxisome origin, involved in protein synthesis and processing.

Waste material within cells that lysosomes break down and recycle.

Toxic compound broken down by peroxisomes to prevent cellular damage.

Molecules broken down by peroxisomes, important for energy production and detoxification.

Small membrane-bound sacs within cells that transport and store substances.

Rigid outer layer in plant cells providing structure and protection, against which turgor pressure is exerted.

Cell's outer membrane controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Cells with a nucleus and organelles, including plant and animal cells.
