    Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes, which helps to break down the material e.g. white blood cells. Ribosomes 3) Ribosomes are non-membrane- bounded particles that float free in the cytoplasm or it is usually attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is made of RNA, protein and is site for protein synthesis. Vesicles Vacuole is a small fluid filled sac present in the cytoplasm and it is always surrounded by a membrane. It transports substance in and out of the cell…

    Chloroplast (Plant cells only) - Small oval structure containing chlorophyll giving the chloroplast a green pigment. Chloroplast uses the sun’s energy to create food for the plant, this is known as photosynthesis. Cell wall (Plant cells only) - Provides structure and protection to the cell in the form of an outer layer. This organelle lets H2O, CO2, and O2 pass through it. One large vacuole (Plant cells only) - Large sac filled with fluids. The vacuole in a plant cell stores, large amounts…

    Every cell in the body has a nucleus. The nucleus is the largest organelle and is contained within a membrane. The nucleus contains the body’s genetic material, which directs the activities, like the brain of the cell. This is built from DNA and proteins called histones coiled together forming a fine network of threads called chromatin. When under the microscope the most prominent part of the cell is the nucleus. The most visible structure within the nucleus is the nucleolus, which is where…

    nucleolus that creates ribosomes, chromatin that holds information, and a nuclear envelope that controls the materials that pass in and out of the nucleus. The ribosome create proteins for the cell. Surrounding the nucleus are the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. These create the materials that the golgi apparatus ships. Likewise, they both use mitochondria that create energy out of food and proteins. Furthermore, both plant and animal cells have a vacuole to hold water, food, and wastes.…

    Cell Biology Beta cells in pancreatic tissues are described as eukaryotic cells and not prokaryotic, this is because the cell is larger in size and there is a true nucleus present which contains DNA. In prokaryotic cell there isn’t a nucleus and the DNA is free within the cytoplasm. Also Beta cells have many organelles and there is mitochondria present, which in a prokaryotic cell there are fewer organelles and there aren’t any mitochondria present. Beta cells in the pancreatic tissue release…

    grasp just how intricate skeletal muscles are along with how they function on a physiological level. Skeletal muscle cells cannot be understood until three key aspects of their structure are enumerated and these are their myofibrils, sarcoplasmic reticulum and t-tubules. To start the myofibrils are the column like structures that run laterally through the inside of the sarcolemma. These rod-like myofibrils are very tightly packed together and are the structures that contract muscles thusly…

    The cell has many parts. Those parts include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nuclear membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, small vacuoles, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and the golgi apparatus. We compared all of these organelles to a plastic bag, a toy animal, a large toy bear head, a highlighter, a noise maker, a medicine cup, a candle, a straw, and a box. To begin, a cell membrane controls movement in and out of the cell. It is a thin flexible layer that also supports and…

    other. Large numbers of ribosomes are bound to the surface of Rough endoplasmic reticulum. Under the prescription for sequence of the steps by RNA released by the nucleus of the cell, Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes large segments of protein molecules. These protein segments are moved down through endoplasmic reticulum for assembling, and when completed, these segments are released into ribosome lacked smooth endoplasmic reticulum. These segments are further transported by it to Golgi…

    the cellular machinery that interacts with the charged tRNA, the mRNA and proteins that leads to Translation occurring. The Ribosome is a Ribonucleoprotein found floating freely in the cytoplasm of a cell or attached to Endoplasmic Reticulum forming the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. The number of ribosomes that are found in a cell depends on the cell activity of that organism. They are small particles of about 200 Angstroms. The Ribosome can be divided into two subunits which can be further…

    B) Compare & contrast: Plant & Animal cells. Although plant and animal cells contain numerous similarities, they also feature prevalent significant differences. Animal and plant cells not only have functional differences but also have structural differences. Plant and animal cells both have a nucleus which is the control centre of the cell, it controls how the cell develops and how it reproduces. DNA is the genetic makeup of a cell, organ and body systems, the DNA in a cell is held and…
