Concept explainers
To explain:
The nonmembranous organelle prevalent in plasma cells
Introduction:
Plasma cells belong to a category of
To explain:
Which membranous organelle is prevalent.
Introduction:
Organelles are compartmentalized cells which have diverse functions inside the cells. They have a role in protein synthesis, post-translational glycosylation and targeting of the proteins on membrane of immune system cells.
