An example of a specialised animal cell could be of a nerve cell. The nerve cell contains axons of motor and sensory neurons‚ which are in bundles of fascicles. They are surrounded by connective tissue which is the sheath of perineurium which ensures that the cells do not get damaged. This lso helps do that the function of the cell is carried out correctly (Nerve Anatomy or Structure (Expanded View)‚ 2017). The function of a nerve cell is to emit impulses through electrical signals fromt the brain

Animal Cell Organelles & Their Functions 1. Nucleus - The nucleus generally contains the genetic material for the cell. Because it contains the DNA and chromosomes‚ which affect the proteins that determine the activities of the cell‚ the nucleus can be considered to be the cell’s control centre. 2. Cytoplasm - The cytoplasm contains primarily water and protein material. This is where the other cell organelles reside‚ and where most of the cellular activities take place. 3. Cell Membrane - The

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

INTRODUCTION An important aspect of any biotechnological processes is the culture of animal cells in artificial media. These animal cells in culture are used in recombinant DNA technology‚ genetic manipulations and in a variety of industrial processes. Now-a -days it has become possible to use the cell and tissue culture in the areas of research which have a potential for economic value and commercialization. The animal cell cultures are being extensively used in production of vaccines‚ monoclonal antibodies

I couldnt believe it. I had no clue on what I had got myself into. I thought I was in a nightmare. Everything was so much larger than me. I felt like I was this tiny spec on a flower. My life had suddenly flashed before my eyes. I had a feeling that my last breath was about to par take. I knew that I should have never drunk that stuff that my friend gave me. She said that it would take me to another world‚ but I didnt take her seriously. I thought it was just her joshing around. How could a normal

the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny‚ three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components‚ each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own‚ individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that

Biology 1 1st October 2011 Animal Cells Every once living thing is composed of cells. Cells are small organisms that control everything in living things. When an organism is made of one or more cells it is called a multi cellular organism. The first person to discover cells was Richard Hooke. The cells that he saw were the dead cells of cork. When he first saw them they reminded him of the cells that nearby monks lived in. there are many different parts of the cell but all serve a purpose. These

Lab 2: Animal and Plant Cells Purpose: To examine the differences between single cell and multi cell organisms in terms of Animal and Plant cells. Question: What are the differences between multi and single celled plant and animal organisms? Prediction: Spirogyra Cell: The parts of the spirogyra cell that will be visible under the microscope will be; cell wall‚ cell membrane‚ nucleus‚ chloroplasts‚ vacuole and cytoplasm. Banana Cell: The parts of the banana cell that will be visible

Robert Sullivan Period 3‚ Biology 11/18/2007 Plant Cell Paper Plant Cell The plant cell is seemingly less complicated then the animal cells. Having the necessary nucleus which holds the cells DNA and produces ribosomes that help in the synthesis of proteins. Surrounding the nucleus is the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The two help break down and store materials. Rough stores and transports synthesized proteins‚ while smooth stores and transports synthesized lipid‚ steroid hormones
