The openings through cell walls called plasmodesmata.
The movement of cytoplasm and organelles within the cell is called cytoplasmic streaming or cytoplasmic motion. It helps distribute nutrients, molecules, and organelles throughout the cell, allowing for communication and coordination between different cellular regions.
Vesicles help maintain homeostasis within the cell by regulating the storage and release of various substances, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and enzymes, in response to cellular demands. They aid in transportation of these substances within the cell and facilitate communication between different cellular compartments.
The endoplasmic reticulum acts as a highway in the cell, transporting molecules and serving as a network for communication between different parts of the cell. It helps in the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins and lipids within the cell.
A coil of mitochondria refers to a tightly packed arrangement of multiple mitochondria within a cell. This clustering of mitochondria can occur in response to increased energy demands or other cellular needs. The close proximity of these organelles allows for more efficient communication and exchange of molecules within the cell.
