this is the pancreatic beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. These cells are specialised to synthesise the protein insulin that is involved in the metabolism of glucose in the cells. (Layden‚ 2010) Figure 1 - Picture to show basic structure of a cell. (Farrabee‚ M J. 2007) But how is insulin made? The production of insulin starts in the nucleus which is the cellular organelle where the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found. They form a series of multiple linear molecules which are then folded

is the largest‚ most prominent organelle‚ usually spherical and roughly about 10mm in diameter. Every eukaryote cell‚ with the exception of red blood cells due to their very specific function‚ has a nucleus. The nucleus’ function is to store DNA‚ it does so in two ways: One is tightly packed and this is called heterochromatin‚ this isn’t read. And the other is loosely packed‚ named euchromatin. Euchromatin is the actively read material that is produced into proteins. Tiny individual segments of

hold the structure of the cell‚ protecting and enclosing all of the other organelles within it. The semi-permeable membrane enables substances to move in and out of the cell. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It is the biggest organelle in the cell‚ containing the DNA and also controls the activity within the cell. The nuclear membrane is very similar to the cell membrane as it is semi-permeable allowing protein to move out of the nucleus. The cytoplasm is a semi-fluid like substance within

Nucleus: The nucleus is the most obvious organelle in any eukaryotic cell. It is enclosed in a double membrane and communicates with the surrounding cytosol via numerous nuclear pores. Within the nucleus is the DNA responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics. The DNA is similar in every cell of the body‚ but depending on the specific cell type‚ some genes may be turned on or off - that’s why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell‚ and a muscle cell is different from a
Premium Cell DNA Eukaryote
Cell Organelles Nucleus Its function is to control the cell’s activities and retain the chromosomes. The nucleus is bound by a double membrane‚ the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope has pores in it to allow the transport of mRNA. The cytoplasm like material is called nucleoplasm which contains chromatin (coils of DNA and histone proteins)‚ it is chromatin that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Within the nucleus is a small spherical body called the nucleolus which

Question: Describe five different organelles and their functions. Explain the similarity and differences between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic. All eukaryotic cells‚ whether from animals‚ plants‚ protists‚ and fungi‚ are fundamentally similar to one another but different from prokaryotic cell. A eukaryotic cell contains various other organelles‚ which perform specific functions in the cell. These organelles can be organized into few basic functional groups such as genetic control‚ distribution

However to understand how they work‚ we have to look at the satellites that are constantly orbiting around our planet in order to let the

How does visualization and confidence work together? Well‚ in order to become confident you need to learn to see yourself in a different light; you need to change from thinking negatively about yourself to feeling your own confidence. One of the best and most efficient ways to change how you see yourself is through visualization. Visualization and confidence go hand in hand because visualization is all about "seeing" something in your mind. You can use visualization to see a different you that feels
