Definition: A type of chemical compound that has a peroxide group within a ring structure, often involved in the production of certain hormones in the body.

Example: Endoperoxides play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.

Definition: The inner, more fluid part of the cytoplasm in a cell, which is different from the outer part and is important for various cellular functions.

Example: The endoplasm of the amoeba helps it move and change shape.

Definition: Relating to the inner part of a cell's cytoplasm, especially in reference to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Example: The endoplasmic reticulum plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and lipid production.
