membrane. Inside the membrane there are parts of the cell called the organelles. (Animal Cell Structure, 2005) Organelles inside the cell have specific jobs to perform for the cell, organelles include the ribosomes, vacuoles, centrioles, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cilia, flagella, mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition there are also three main components to any cell. These include the cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. The most common fluid inside the cell is the cytoplasm. The…

Peggy Fender is a 59 year old woman who appears to be an alcoholic as she has had many visits to the emergency department in the past. She arrives in the afternoon appearing intoxicated and complaining of abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant of her abdominopelvic cavity. As Tim, the physician assistant proceeds with his examination he notices bruising on her arms legs and face. She is jaundiced and he notices the smell of alcohol on her breath. In addition, her liver and entire abdomen are…

the golgi apparatus sends through the cell. Also, plant cells have much larger vacuoles that are mainly used to hold water. In conclusion, animal and plant cells are extremely similar, but with a few differences. To wrap it up, they both have peroxisomes, golgi apparatuses, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, a nucleus, a nucleolus, chromatin, a nuclear envelope, mitochondria, a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and vacuoles. The parts that are unique to an animal cell are lysosomes,…

Similarly, peroxisomes degrades toxic compounds. Another small organelle is Ribosomes. RNA is used to synthesize proteins and can be found in the large number of Ribosomes. Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in the transport of many materials. ER is made of two different…

A lot of things have one “personality”, in common. But some have more and some have less. For example, if the organisms from a plant cell was compared to a school, they would be alike because a school has students helping to school or the “base” and in a plant cell, all the different organisms act like those students. But don’t worry, a plant cell doesn’t just have to be compared to a school. It could be compared to a person, a project, another kind of cell, and basically anything else. So today…

Biologist Lynn Margulis first proposed the philosophy of endosymbiosis in the 1960s ("Endosymbiosis and The Origin of Eukaryotes", 2016) revealing that other cellular organelles such chloroplasts, as being similar to mitochondria.This includes their self-replicating ability and a double mellbrane accompanying their ribosomes and DNA. Such evidence suggests, Chloroplast organelles were also once f8-living bacteria ("Endosymbiosis and The Origin of Eukaryotes", 2016). Given that the first…

variety of common disease conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases, infection, obesity, and cancer” (p. 73). They have a very important role in keeping the cell functional. Peroxisomes are important to keep the cell stable. They are used primarily for oxidative reactions. The liver is dependent on peroxisomes to form bile acids to allow the dilution of fat. At times proteins may be incorrectly and they must be destroyed. This is the job of the Proteasomes. Mitochondria cells are also…

multistep pathways associated predominantly by regulatory molecules and associated substrate concentration. Monocarboxylate transporter 2- lactate shuttle : It is LDH transporter playing a predominant role where it usually transport pyruvate via peroxisomes further degraded by LDH into lactate associated conversion of NADH to NAD+ for beta oxidation of fatty acids. Viversa, lactate produce in the above reaction will be trasported back via membrane monocarboxylate transporter 2 further…

controlling sugar levels in our body. FAs are one of the most extensively studied for their role as Nutraceutical and how they affect the gene expression. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) target many transcription factors i.e. SREBP- 1c, LXR, and peroxisome proliferator - activated receptors (PPARs). PUFA suppresses lipogenic genes and induce genes involved in FA oxidation to repartition FA from TAG synthesis to oxidation.…

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells, or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Unlike prokaryotic cells, the DNA in a plant cell is housed within the nucleus. In addition to having a nucleus, plant cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, or tiny cellular structures, that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. Organelles have a wide range of responsibilities that include everything from producing hormones and enzymes to providing energy for a plant cell.…
