Comparison of Plant and Animal Cells Introduction Eukaryotic cells are very complex; there are many organelles‚ each serving a distinct function‚ present in eukaryotic cells. We can divide the eukaryotic group of cells in to two main groups‚ according to the presence of these membrane bound organelles‚ and the structural differences amongst the cells and their organelles. The two groups of eukaryotic cells are plant and animal cells. Nucleus The reason that plant and animal cells are not divided in to two

Prokaryote Organelles: Nucleoid Region: The region in a prokaryotic cell consisting of a concentrated mass of DNA. (The “nucleus” of a prokaryotic cell) The nucleoid instructs all the organelles on what to do. Ribosome: A cell organelle consisting of RNA and protein organized into two subunits and functioning as the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. The ribosomal subunits are constructed in the nucleolus. (Make proteins from amino acids) The nucleoid controls the ribsomes and specifies

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

of cells and their ultra structure The cell is the basic unit of life. Each cell can be regarded as a metabolic compartment‚ a separate place where the chemical processes of that cell occur. Cells are often designed to perform a particular function. Depending on that function‚ each cell type has an internal structure that suits it for its job. This is known as the ultrastructure of the cell. There are different types of cells inside the human body. They are the epithelial cells‚ muscle cells‚ nerve

development of the microscope on the development of cell theory. Over a period of nearly 400 years‚ technology has impacted so significantly on humanities understanding of life. This is due to the development of the microscope‚ examining the invisible‚ discovering the building blocks of life‚ and the creation of the cell theory. This theory is so fundamental to our current knowledge of the functioning of living organisms. The development of cell theory is closely linked to the improvements of the

Learning about Cells. First thing I want to show you is two beautiful pictures of a Cell. Imagine all of this is in something so small we cannot see it with our naked eyes. About 10‚000 average-sized human cells can fit on the head of a pin. There are a few exceptions‚ but the average cell is very tiny. Here are a few beautiful examples of a cell structure to kind of give you an idea of its beauty‚ and how they fit together. Plasma Membrane (cell membrane) First we are going to learn about

The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: A cell membrane of a beet (Beta Vulgaris) is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and cholesterols. The membrane is responsible for organizing the cell‚ protecting it from the exterior environment‚ as well as responsible for regulating what goes in and out of the cell though it’s protein channels and “selectively permeable” bilayer. (Campbell‚ Reece‚ Taylor & Simon‚ 2006‚ p. 79-80) When this membrane is damaged
