Top Cell Biology Flashcards

Cell biology is the study of the complex processes that go on within cells in order to orchestrate the phenomena called life. These flashcards will discuss many basic but fundamentally critical mechanisms within cell biology and some of the methods by which we investigate these mechanisms. Here are some examples of the types of content you will encounter. You will learn the how the endosomal system functions in the sorting of various cellular components and their delivery to their relevant target locations.

Within this topic you will learn the role of vesicles which act as intracellular transport containers and the SNARE type of membrane bound protein which mediate their interaction with other membranous compartments. You will learn how vesicles are transported along the cytoskeleton, which is a system of structural protein which act both to define the shape of cells and to act as roads by which various machinery is transported along. Our list of flashcards is designed to give you a fundamental understanding of these topics.
