Where are viruses bacteria and old organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in?
Viruses, bacteria, and organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in the mitochondria.
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and destroys it?
It is called a virus.
Liquid portion of a cell is called?
A wet cell A cell that contains a solid electrolyte is a dry cell.
What is the name of the process in which an intracellular protein-containing vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and expels the protein to the outside of the cell?
A protein containing vesicle within a cell fuses with the cell membrane and ejects the protein is called exocytosis. A lysosome eats or ingests a bacterium is called phagocytosis.
What is engulfing a particle called?
When a cell engulfs a particle, it is called phagocytosis. Certain white blood cells phagocytize and digest infectious particles like bacteria to kill them.
When a cell surrounds a solid particle forming a vesicle and pulls it into the cells it is called what?
phagocytosis
Phagocytosis is also known as what?
It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.
Define the step of endocytosis?
the process by which a cell uses energy to surround a particle and enclose the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell is called endocytosis: the cell comes into contact with particle the cell membrane begins to wrap around the particle then the particle is bought into the cell
When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".
Where are viruses bacteria and old organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in?
Viruses, bacteria, and organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in the mitochondria.
When a cell takes in larger particles through a cell membrane?
When a cell needs to take in a particle larger than the membrane channels can passage, it will invaginate the cell membrane around the particle(s) and pinch off part of the membrane containing the particles inside the cell membrane. This is called phagocytosis (when the particles are primarily solid) or pinocytosis (when the particles are primarily liquid).
What is it called when a cell comes into contact with a particle?
exocytosis
What is a single cell virus particle called?
A virion.
How do large food particles exit an amoeba?
Amoeba ingests food by a process known as phagocytosis. The amoeba modifies its cytoskeleton to 'wrap around' the food particle with its membranes. The membrane then fuses, trapping the food particle in a vacuole inside the cell. The vacuole is then fused with a lysosome and the lysosomal enzymes will break down the food particle.
Which cell organelle is called ribonucleo protein particles?
The cell organelle that is called ribonucleo protein particle is vault.
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and destroys it?
It is called a virus.
What is the sac formed around a large particle to allow a cell to take in or remove the particle?
A sac that is formed around a large particle to allow a cell to take in or remove the particle is called a vesicle. A vesicle is filled with fluid.
