    Andrew Dice Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein; September 29, 1957) [1] is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He rose to prominence in the late 1980s with a ...

  3. Centriole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole

    3D rendering of centrioles showing the triplets. In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. [1] Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells, but are not present in conifers (), flowering plants (angiosperms) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and Ginkgo.

  4. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

    In contrast, paracellular transport is the transfer of substances across an epithelium by passing through an intercellular space between the cells. It differs from transcellular transport, where the substances travel through the cell passing through both the apical membrane and basolateral membrane; Renal physiology. Transcellular transport is ...

  5. Cytoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm

    The submicroscopic ground cell substance, or cytoplasmic matrix, that remains after the exclusion of the cell organelles and particles is groundplasm. It is the hyaloplasm of light microscopy, a highly complex, polyphasic system in which all resolvable cytoplasmic elements are suspended, including the larger organelles such as the ribosomes ...

  6. Protocell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocell

    Another group suggests that primitive cells might have formed inside inorganic clay microcompartments, which can provide an ideal container for the synthesis and compartmentalization of complex organic molecules. [68] Clay-armored bubbles form naturally when particles of montmorillonite clay collect on the outer surface of air bubbles under ...

  7. Cytosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosol

    The term "cytosol" was first introduced in 1965 by H. A. Lardy, and initially referred to the liquid that was produced by breaking cells apart and pelleting all the insoluble components by ultracentrifugation. [4] [5] Such a soluble cell extract is not identical to the soluble part of the cell cytoplasm and is usually called a cytoplasmic fraction.

  8. Montmorillonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmorillonite

    The individual crystals of montmorillonite clay are not tightly bound hence water can intervene, causing the clay to swell, hence montmorillonite is a characteristic component of swelling soil. The water content of montmorillonite is variable and it increases greatly in volume when it absorbs water.

  9. Vesicle (biology and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

    A good example is an endocrine tissue found in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. This tissue contains many cell types that are defined by which hormones they produce. Secretory vesicles hold the enzymes that are used to make the cell walls of plants, protists, fungi, bacteria and archaea cells as well as the extracellular matrix of ...
