mammals. 3) Slide 3: Why is the nucleus of the cell in slide 3 so large? In other words‚ what is this cell doing that requires that its nucleus be so large? (Please be specific). In eukaryotic cell in slide #3 has organelles including a nucleus containing DNA and mitochondria energy organelles .Compared to the prokaryotic cell which has the DNA in the cytoplasm smaller and simpler and doesn’t contain a nucleus or other organelles‚ it does have cell membrane. Bacteria and Archea are single celled

Animal Cell There are two types of cells that exist. Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that have few organelles. These cells don’t have a nucleus‚ but do have DNA. The DNA acts as a sort of “blueprint” for growth and reproduction in the cell. Prokaryotes are things like Bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are a lot more complex than a prokaryotic cell. These cells are able to convert food to energy‚ break down waste products‚ digest food‚ and assist with reproduction of new cells. Eukaryotic cells are in

Cells are some of the smallest organisms around. All living things consist of cells‚ and yet they are invisible to the naked eye. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Cells are made up of many different parts which allow them to function properly. All cells are separated from their surrounding by a cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also aids in the protection and support of the cell. A cell membrane

Three Words That Describe Me Using only three words to describe myself is hard‚ but if I had to choose I would describe myself as being honest‚ selfless‚ and understanding. Although I didn’t start off being honest and understanding I’m glad I learned how to be because being this way makes me a better person. Theses three characteristics are important to me because I feel like if I didn’t have them I wouldn’t be able to better myself as a person. When I was younger I wasn’t always

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole‚ a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast maintains the cell’s turgor‚ controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap‚ stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose‚ pectin and in many cases lignin‚ is secreted by

Cell Structure Vocabulary Cell Membrane → the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. Cell Wall → a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants‚ it consists mainly of cellulose. Cellular Respiration → A series of metabolic processes that take place within a cell in which biochemical energy is harvested from organic substance (e.g. glucose) and stored as energy carriers

CHAPTER 12- THE CELL CYCLE I. Concept 12.1- Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells A. Overview 1) The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells or cell division. 2) The cell division process is an integral part of the cell cycle‚ the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells. B. Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material 1) A cell’s endowment of DNA‚ its genetic

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ and like any living organism‚ cells are made up of smaller structures that help them function. In the context of cells‚ these smaller structures are referred to as organelles and each organelle has its own unique function that has developed over time. While we are typically aware of how these organelles function‚ how they evolved raises several questions. The main model for how eukaryotic cells evolved over time is the endosymbiont theory. This

Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine
