Solved
actin filament - ✔✔A long fiber, about 7 nm in diameter, composed of
two intertwined strands of polymerized actin protein; one of the three types
of cytoskeletal fibers. Involved in cell movement. Also called a
microfilament.
centriole - ✔✔One of two small cylindrical structures found together
within the centrosome near the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (not found in
plants). Consists of microtubule triplets and is structurally identical with a
basal body.
centrosome - ✔✔Structure in animal and fungal cells, containing two
centrioles, that serves as a microtubule organizing center for the cell's
cytoskeleton and for the spindle apparatus during cell division.

cilium - ✔✔(plural: cilia) One of many short, filamentous projections of
some eukaryotic cells, containing a core of microtubules. Used to move the
cell as well as to circulate fluid or particles around the surface of a
stationary cell.
cisternae - ✔✔(singular: cisterna) Flattened, membrane-bound
compartments that make up the Golgi apparatus.
cisternal maturation - ✔✔The process of cargo movement through the
Golgi apparatus by residing in cisternae that mature from cis to trans via
the import and export of different Golgi enzymes.
cristae - ✔✔(singular: crista) Sac-like invaginations of the inner
membrane of a mitochondrion. Location of the electron transport chain and
ATP synthase.
cytokinesis - ✔✔Division of the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.
Typically occurs immediately after division of the nucleus by mitosis or
meiosis.
cytoplasm - ✔✔All the contents of a cell, excluding the nucleus, bounded
by the plasma membrane.
