Peroxisome
... . They consist of a single membrane that separates them from the
cytosol (the internal fluid of the cell). Peroxisomes were discovered by ... All of the enzymes found in a peroxisome are imported from the
cytosol . Each enzyme transferred to a peroxisome has a special sequence at one ...
Second messenger

cytosol and across cellular membranes.
These intracellular messengers have ...
Actin
... in contraction of the cell during cytokinesis . In muscle cells they play an essential role, along with myosin , in muscle contraction . In the
cytosol , actin is predominantly bound to ATP , but can also bind to ADP . An ATP-actin complex polymerizes faster and dissociates slower than an ADP-actin ...
Adenosine triphosphate

The main fuels for ATP synthesis are glucose and fatty acids . Initially glucose is broken down into pyruvate in the
cytosol . Two molecules of ATP are generated for each molecule of glucose. The terminal stages of ATP synthesis are carried out in the mitochondrion and can ...
Apoptosis

cytosol , is a liquid in movement. In general, margin regions of the cell are gel-like and the cell's interior is liquid.
The insoluble constituents of the ...
Disulfide bond
... .
In eukaryotes
In eukaryotic cells, disulfide bonds are formed in the lumen of the RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) but not in the
cytosol . Thus disulfide bonds are found only in secretory proteins, lysosomal proteins, and the exoplasmic domains of membrane proteins.
Disulphide bonds ...
Endoplasmic reticulum
... membrane network of tubes and cisternae (sac-like structures). The membrane encloses a space, the cisternal space (or internal lumen) from the

Glycolysis

Location
In eukaryotes glycolysis takes place within the
cytosol of the cell (as opposed to the mitochondria , where reactions more closely connected to aerobic metabolism occur). Glucose gets into the cell ...
