GROUP 6 ANIMAL CELL and It’s Functions ANIMAL CELL: About animal cell usually have an irregular shape. are eukaryote cells‚ or cells with a membrane bound nucleus. DNA is housed within the nucleus. Also contain other membrane bound organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. smaller than plant cells. Cell Membrane is the outermost component of a cell. it is composed of 55% proteins‚ 25% phospholipids

that contains the genetic info. 4 billion codes in length Gene- a segment of DNA that controls a certain protein production. A gene is made up of hundreds to thousands of codes. Chromosomes- genetic material that is coiled up into structures during cell division. Importance of DNA- genes control the production of proteins..(look like‚ body function‚ body communications‚ and enzyme control) DNA screening- the process of testing individuals to determine whether they have the gene(s) associated w/

Biology- Animal cell The NUCLEUS is the largest organelle in the majority of cells. It contains genetic information in DNA‚ which is responsible for the cells unique characteristics. The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell by.... ...The NUCLEAR ENVELOPE is used as a barrier which separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm‚ all in all keeping the DNA safe and intact. The nuclear envelope regulates the flow of substances into and out of the nucleus. The NUCLEOLUS is an important

Unsurprisingly one animal which communicates in a very similar way to humans is chimpanzees‚ so much so that an area of the brain involved in planning and producing speech‚ and sign language in humans plays a similar role in chimpanzee communication. Another similarity between chimpanzee and humans is the use of body language. Chimpanzees have evolved many facial and body muscles to help them convey messages‚ for example erect hair shows agitation or aggression; grinning portrays fear; prolonged

Animal Cell Cells are the beginning of everything. Every living thing is composed and made from cells. Cells are the smallest unit of organization that we know of. There are two major categories of cellular organization in eukaryotic cells. Those parts which are “membrane bound”‚ called organelles and those which are not “membrane bound”. Every aspect of the cell is important because each part or organelle’s structure is unique to its function. Non membrane bound organelles‚ are those which provide

single cell to divide and produce all the differentiated cells in an organism‚ including extraembryonic tissues. Totipotent cells formed during sexual and asexual reproduction include spores and zygotes. Zygotes are the products of the fusion of two gametes. In some organisms‚ cells can dedifferentiate and regain totipotency. For example‚ a plant cutting or callus can be used to grow an entire plant. Human development begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg and creates a single totipotent cell called

have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to two worms with the same set of genes. However‚ the ability to intentionally create a clone in the animal kingdom by working on the cellular

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

“Napoleon” from Animal Farm by George Orwell Napoleon from animal farm was a cruel leader of the animals. This is similar to the harsh and abusive treatment Russians received from Stalin. Napoleon is one of the pigs who took charge when the animals rebelled against the farmer who was in charge of the farm they lived on. The story Animal Farm is an allegory of the Communist Revolution in Russia. The animals represent different people or groups of people involved in the revolution

ANIMAL CELL PROJECT By: Jonathan Everett Science 2nd Ms. Thompson January 11‚ 2013 Have you ever heard of an animal cell? Well‚ I you haven’t it is a cell that is found in an animal that consist of multiple organelles. Each organelle has a special job that helps the cell function. This paper will help describe each organelle in the animal cell. 1. Endoplasmic Reticulum The Endoplasmic Reticulum is found in both the plant and animal
