CELL ANATOMY Microbodies Brief History Microbodies were first discovered and named in 1954 by Rhodin. De Duve chose the name of Peroxisome because of its relationship with hydrogen peroxide. In 1967‚ Breidenbach and Beevers were the first to isolate microbodies from plants‚ which they named Glyoxysomes because they were found to contain enzymes of the Glyoxylate cycle. Definition Any of the membrane-bound‚ ovoid or spherical‚ granular cytoplasmic particles containing enzymes and other substances

PLANT CELL Introduction Plant cell is the basic unit of structure and function in nearly all plants. The range of specialization and the character of association of plant cells are very wide. In the simplest plant forms a single cell constitutes a whole organism and carries out all the life functions. In just slightly more complex forms‚ cells are associated structurally‚ but each cell appears to carry out the fundamental life functions‚ although certain ones may be specialized

Animal cells are distinct from plant cells. Animal cells lack a cell wall (cellulose) which allows the animal to move without breaking it’s cells apart. When you break a piece of celery‚ the noise It has a nucleus‚ a cytoplasm and a cell membrane. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_animal_cel...

Premium Cell membrane Cell Cell wall
Animal cells do not have a cell wall. Instead of a cell wall‚ the plasma membrane (usually called cell membrane when discussing animal cells) is the outer boundary of animal cells. Animal tissues therefore require either external or internal support from some kind of skeleton. Frameworks of rigid cellulose fibrils thicken and strengthen the cell walls of higher plants. Plasmodesmata that connect the protoplasts of higher plant cells do not have a counterpart in the animal cell model. During telophase

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

DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURAL COMPARTMENTATION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS AND THE DIFFERING FUNCTIONS OF THESE COMPARTMENTS? Mammalian cells are eukaryotic this means that all of their cells have common components‚ membrane bound organelles which prokaryotic cells do not this is shown in figure 1. Organelles are purpose made to carry out a specific function that is necessary within a cell. Due to the specificity of both conditions and concentrations with in these organelles these are compartmentalized. Encasing

SPECIALIZED CELL ANIMAL Sperm cells PLANT Xylem cells are specialised to find a female cell (egg cells) and join with it. They have tails‚ that makes them move in water to find and fertilize the female cell. They can move because they have many mitochondria located between the tail and the head‚ which gives them energy. In the head‚ there is a vacuole filled with acrosome‚ which is a specialized Lysosome that releases enzymes in order for the Sperm Cell to break into the Egg Cell‚ through the

An onion cell is a plant cell which through the light microscope‚ it should outline the cell wall‚ cell membrane and the nucleus. Introduction: Plant cells have a cell wall and cell membrane which animal cells do not have. The cell wall provides support and is relatively rigid‚ which consists of
