Industry:Biotechnology
An organelle in many animal cells that appears to be involved in the formation of the spindle during mitosis. During cell division, the two centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus to form the ends of the spindle.
Industry:Biotechnology
An organic compound based on the general formula C<sub>x</sub> (H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>y</sub>, performing many vital roles in living organisms. The simplest carbohydrates are the sugars (saccharides), including glucose and sucrose. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates of much greater molecular weight and complexity; examples are starch, which serves as energy store in plant seeds and tubers; cellulose and lignin that form the cell walls and woody tissue of plants of plants; glycogen, etc.
Industry:Biotechnology

Industry:Biotechnology
An organic molecule or inorganic ion necessary for the normal catalytic activity of an enzyme.
Industry:Biotechnology
An organism as found in nature; the dominant allele usually found in nature, and from which mutations produce other dominants or recessives alleles.
Industry:Biotechnology
