Animal Cell Structure

Decent Essays
a.) Two structures that are found in plant and animal cells are the nucleus and cell membrane. The nucleus is like the brain of the plant cell because the nucleus directs all the cells functions like the brain directs all the humans functions. The nucleus also contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Another structure found in animal and plant is the cell membrane. The cell membrane is the protective layer of the cell that decides what enters and exits the cell. The cells membrane keeps the good things like nutrients in and the bad things like bacteria and waste out.The cell membrane also holds the cell together. The nucleus and the cell membrane are two structures found in animal and plant cells.

b.) Two cells parts that are found in plants

    1. Explain how cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs. Cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs by stem cells being able to develop into every type of cell in the body and eventually recreate a person’s tissues. With organs, after you gather the cells which can be from the patient’s own organs you have to go towards how they grow and specialise. The cells need to be put in the right environment, and exposed to the forces that they would normally experience in the body.…

    b-The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes. The main function of the cell nucleus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle.…

    Animal cell are round in shape and are irregular, as plant cells have rectangular shapes. Plant cells produce energy from sunlight from chloroplasts. Animal cells do not have chloroplast. In Animal cells energy is produced from food in the Mitochondria. The third difference is that plant cells have cell wall, which give it it’s boxlike shape & protect it from injury.…

    The nucleus is the largest of all the organelles in an animal cell, it is known as the control centre. The structure of the nucleus contains a nuclear membrane, chromosomes, nucleolus and a cytoplasm. The nucleus is a sphere shaped organelle which is found in eukaryotic cells. This organelle does most of the functions throughout the animal cell. It is responsible for most of the genetic material, which is DNA and RNA.…

    The main objective of the experiment is to study and localize the fluorescent tags on specific chimeric proteins in a particular cell. The localization of these tags will generate a detailed understanding of the cytoskeleton in the cell, and the main function of using the Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein. With the help of EYFP, the location of the proteins, and the molecular masses of the chimeric proteins should be really easy (Cannons, A. 2006). Consequently to better understand this experiment, it is crucial that certain terms are elaborated and define. The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of rod running though the cytosol.…

    Members of Kingdom Plantae and Animalia are living organisms and have evolved from common ancestry. They share aspects of life stemming from a common beginning, but differ markedly from evolutionary change (Feder, 2002). Comparison at a cell level shows common components necessary for life. Animal cells have plasma membranes, a nucleus, mitochrondrian and ribosome (Freeman, et al. 2014).…

    The cell is like a large well-oiled machine in the sense that each individual organelle has its own job to do, and if even one part fails to do its job, the entire body would shut down. The cell is composed of many organelles that are protected by the outer wall of the cell, called the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is a flexible, but sturdy barrier that surrounds and helps contain the cytoplasm of the cell (Tortora P65). The main purpose of the plasma membrane is to protect all of the intracellular structure from its external environment and to determine what passes through and what is not permitted. The permeability of the plasma membrane is different for each substance.…

    Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements. The functions of these organelles are extremely similar between the two classes of cells (peroxisomes perform additional complex functions in plant cells having to do with cellular respiration). However, the few differences that exist between plant and animals are very significant and reflect a difference in the functions of each cell. Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes.…
