What surrounds the organelles in the plasma membrane?

cytoplasm surrounds all the organeles in cells


How do the substances released by the Golgi apparatus make their way to other locations in the cell?

The Golgi produces vesicles - small membrane bound structures - filled with enzymes, lipds or glycoproteins that diffuse through the cytoplasm and fuse with the cell membrane and leave the cell by exocytosis.

How does cell biology similar to molecular biology and molecular genetics?

Cell biology - study of whole cells and their organelles Molecular Biology - study of the molecules & their interactions in the cell Molecular genetics - study of the genes at their molecular levels all of them are interrelated to one thing i.e. cell


How is carbon incorporated into the metabolic pathway of aerobic bacterial?

in prokaryotic cells that use aerobic respiration, glycosis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the cytoplasm, and the electron transport chain is built into the plasma membrane. P. 93 CAMPBELL BIOLOGY


The formation of a vesicle?

In cell biology, a vesicle is a small organelle within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane. Vesicles can form naturally, for example, during the processes of secretion (exocytosis), uptake (phagocytosisand endocytosis) and transport of materials within the cytoplasm. Alternatively, they may be prepared artificially, in which case they are called liposomes. If there is only one phospholipid bilayer, they are called unilamellar liposome vesicles; otherwise they are called multilamellar. The membrane enclosing the vesicle is also a lamellar phase, similar to that of the plasma membrane, and vesicles can fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside of the cell. Vesicles can also fuse with otherorganelles within the cell.

Is a membrane enclosed sac of digetive enzymes that degrade proteins?

No. A membrane will be anything that serves as a physical boundary between one thing and another. For example, the cell membrane separates the cytoplasm and its environment. The nuclear membrane separates everything inside it (DNA, nucleolus, etc.) from the cytoplasm. Usually, in biology, a "sac" of molecules is called a vesicle or vacuole.


When was Molecular Membrane Biology created?

Molecular Membrane Biology was created in 1978.


What is the semi-fluid internal medium of a cell that dissolves molecules between the nucleus and cell membrane?

NucleoplasmThough nucleoplasm and cytoplasm are both semi-fluid mediums, it is cytoplasm that contains water and various types of molecules suspended or dissolved in the medium. This is according to "Human Biology" by Sylvia S. Mader p.46 sec. 3.2 How Cells Are Organized.


Where does translation occur for biology?

Outside the nucleus, in the cytoplasm.

Where in a cell are the mitochondria?

"scattered throughout the cytosol" (quoted from a biology book), hope it helps!Anywhere within a cytoplasm and cell membrane. No organelles have set positions except for the cell membrane and in plant cells, the cell wall. Those form an enclosing layer, just like skin around a body.
