Lysosomes: Meaning, Structure and Function (With Diagram)

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Lysosomes in Cell 2. Structure of Lysosomes in Cell 3. Function. Meaning of Lysosomes in Cell: Lysosomes are ultra structural particles of the cell containing hydrolytic enzymes responsible for digestion. Though these are common in ani­mal cell, but in plants these are found in the lower groups, such as euglenoids, [...]

Quick Notes on Endoplasmic Reticulum

Quick  Notes on Endoplasmic Reticulum! Structure of Endoplasmic Reticulum in Cell: Structurally the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of cisternae, tubules and vesicles (Fig. 2.42). The cisternae are broad, flat, membrane-bound spaces arranged parallel to each other to form lamellae, which are connec­ted with each other. The tubules are 50-1OOA in diameter. The vesicles or sacs are membrane- bound, isolated globose [...]
