  2. Lamella (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamella_(cell_biology)

    Lamella, in cell biology, is also used to describe the leading edge of a motile cell, of which the lamellipodia is the most forward portion. [5] The lipid bilayer core of biological membranes is also called lamellar phase. [6] Thus, each bilayer of multilamellar liposomes and wall of a unilamellar liposome is also referred to as a lamella.

  3. Cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

    The middle lamella is laid down first, formed from the cell plate during cytokinesis, and the primary cell wall is then deposited inside the middle lamella. [ clarification needed ] The actual structure of the cell wall is not clearly defined and several models exist - the covalently linked cross model, the tether model, the diffuse layer model ...

  4. Lamella (surface anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamella_(surface_anatomy)

    In surface anatomy, a lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amongst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between. Aside from respiratory organs, they appear in other biological roles including filter feeding and the traction surfaces of geckos .

  5. Lamella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamella

    Lamella (mycology), a papery rib beneath a mushroom cap; Lamella (botany) Lamella (surface anatomy), a plate-like structure in an animal; Lamella of osteon, the concentric circles around the central Haversian canals; Lamella (cell biology): (i) part of a chloroplast (thin extension of thylakoid joining different grana)

    This mRNA is then transported out of the nucleus, where it is translated into a specific protein molecule. The nucleolus is a specialized region within the nucleus where ribosome subunits are assembled. In prokaryotes, DNA processing takes place in the cytoplasm. [2] Mitochondria and chloroplasts: generate energy for the cell.

  7. Annulate lamella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulate_lamella

    These lamella are characteristics of the oocytes, spermatocytes, some somatic and cancer cells. They are characteristic of actively growing cells, including many functions in genetic information transfer and storage. They are probably formed from the nuclear envelope. [3] [4]

  8. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    The size of the nucleus is correlated to the size of the cell, and this ratio is reported across a range of cell types and species. [9] In eukaryotes the nucleus in many cells typically occupies 10% of the cell volume. [10]: 178 The nucleus is the largest organelle in animal cells.

  9. Cellular compartment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_compartment

    Both organelles, the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in photosynthetic organisms), are compartments that are believed to be of endosymbiotic origin. Other compartments such as peroxisomes , lysosomes , the endoplasmic reticulum , the cell nucleus or the Golgi apparatus are not of endosymbiotic origin.
