adenosine triphoshate (ATP) | plays important role in energy transfer in the body |
master code | sequence of different nucleotides along the DNA double helix. |
Chromosome | any of several threadlike bodies, consisting of chromatin, that carry the genes in a linear order |
Ribosome | organelle: small & large subunit, free or fixed (attached to rough ER). makes protein |
rough ER | contains ribosomes, form transport vesicle |
smooth ER | involved in lipid synthesis |
Golgi apparatus | package new protein and lipids for transport (secretory vesicle).
