The Journey Through a Cell - Packaged and Ready to Go

 So we're back in the Golgi Apparatus, where lots of little things occur.

For us, a tiny little protein, visiting the Golgi Apparatus is an important part of our journey, where there are folds called "cisternae". Here, in the Golgi Apparatus, we are modified after entering the cis face and then packaged into little membranous sacs called vesicles, upon leaving the trans face.

These vesicles are perfect for storage and transport, and contain a single membrane with fluid inside.

Now we're all packaged comfortably into our vesicle, we'll journey again through the cytoskeleton

We're all ready, but how do we escape the cell?

Stay tuned!

Wednesday Words: Elementary Biology

 A bit of elementary biology for you!

[Word] is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the [Word] includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.

I've got an interesting day ahead of me tomorrow...
