👉 Blastopore is a term used in biochemistry to describe a small, specialized structure within a cell membrane that allows for the release of a specific molecule. The term "blastopore" comes from the Greek word "blastos" meaning "blast," which refers to the sudden release of a large amount of material into a cell without any previous accumulation or aggregation. In biological context, blastopores are often associated with cells that have undergone programmed death (e.g., cancer cells).
