region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. These structures along with the nucleus are the organelles‚ each having a specific function in the cell. The organelles are by membranes divided in proficient sections .The plant cell is made up of a rigid thick wall. Cell walls protect cells and help maintain their shape. The cell walls of the plant contain polysaccharide cellulose. An important organelle found in plant cells but not animals‚ is the chloroplast‚ where photosynthesis takes place. Plant

Eukaryotic cells contain organelles and have a nucleus‚ whereas prokaryotic cells do not. 10. Eukaryotic; the cells of all multicellular

In order to live‚ a cell must perform certain functions. As two of our criteria for life say‚ living things must

just like parts of a factory. Each part also has a specific function‚ to make getting the job done a lot easier. The floor of a factory is a lot like the cytoplasm in a cell. It kind of keeps everything where it needs to be‚ and helps direct organelles around the cell‚ much like the pathways on the floor around the machines. The cell membrane in a cell is very similar to the outside wall of a factory. It keeps everything in and only lets some things in and out‚ explaining why the door to my factory

prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an internal‚ membrane bound sac or compartment that serves one or more functions inside the cell. Generally‚ cell organelles are found more in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes. One of the main advantages of partitioning the cell interior with these cell organelles is that numerous activities can occur simultaneously in a very confined space. There are different numbers and variation of organelle found in different cells‚ which is related

The cytoplasm consists of cytosol and the cellular organelles ‚ except the nucleus. The cytoplasm offers support for the cell. It allows the cells organelles to freely move throughout the cell. Movement is sped up in the fluid of the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm can also act as a medium for transport within the cell. Mitochondria: [pic] The mitochondria

Drosophila” Discovered in the 1950’s‚ peroxisomes were found floating within a cell’s cytoplasm using electronic microscopy by J. Rhodin (Schluter‚ 2010). These were later classified as organelles and the functions of these organelles were also further discovered and understood. Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelle that are found in all eukaryotic cells participate in many metabolic reactions within the cell. These reactions include “β-oxidation of fatty acids‚ α-oxidation of branched chain fatty

remarkable. A single cell can be thought of as an organised chemical system‚ separated from its disorganised surroundings by a membrane” (Boyle et al 1999) First here is a brief summary of major eukaryotic organelles and their structures. The nucleus is the largest and most prominent organelle in the cell. It is usually spherical and about 10um in diameter. It contains the DNA and chromosomes and carries information that allows the cell to divide and carry out its cellular processes. Almost all eukaryote

division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus. Eukaryotes are much more complex and bigger. They have membrane bound organelles for specific functions. Some organelles inside eukaryotic cells include: the nucleus‚ the golgi apparatus‚ the mitochondria‚ the chloroplast‚ the endoplasmic reticulum

Inside the cell membrane is a substance called protoplasm in which many tiny structures called organelles (because they act like small versions of organs) are suspended. Some of the more important organelles and their functions are listed in the following
