"Cytoplasma" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance found inside the cells of living organisms. It is a colorless, semi-transparent liquid that fills the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The cytoplasm is made up of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, that perform different cellular functions, including protein synthesis, energy production, and waste removal. The cytoplasm also contains the cell's genetic material, in the form of DNA or RNA, and plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth, division, and death.
Cytophagous refers to an organism that consumes or feeds on cells. It is often used to describe certain types of bacteria or other microorganisms that obtain their nutrients by breaking down and absorbing the contents of cells.
The cytopharynx is the region of the cell where food vacuoles, containing nutrients, are formed during phagocytosis, a type of cellular digestion. It is also known as a food catching cup. The cytopharynx is a structure found in protozoans, such as amoebas, and certain protists, where it plays a crucial role in gathering and processing nutrients for the cell.
A cytophotometer is an instrument used in cytology to measure the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by cells, typically for the purpose of analyzing the DNA content of cells. It is a type of spectrophotometer that is specifically designed for use with cells, often in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy.
Descriptive of or relating to the cytoplasm, the gel-like substance found inside the cells of living organisms.
Describing something that is done or occurs through or in relation to the cytoplasm, the jelly-like substance inside a cell that contains the cell's organelles and other cell parts.
A cytoplasmic naked DNA molecule, such as a plasmid, that is present in the cytoplasm of a cell, typically a bacterium, and is capable of replicating independently of the cell's chromosomal DNA.
Cytoplast is a term used in the field of cell biology and medicine, specifically in the context of stem cell therapy. It refers to the mature, functional cells that are derived from stem cells and are capable of differentiating into various cell types. In other words, cytoplasts are fully developed cells that have the ability to perform specific functions and replace damaged or diseased cells in the body.
