a.1 Eukaryotic Cell vs Prokaryotic Cell All cells can be classfied into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came into being through the process of evolution. Comparison chart All attributes Differences Similarities | Eukaryotic Cell | Prokaryotic Cell | Nucleus: | Present | Absent | Number of chromosomes: | More than one | One--but not true chromosome: Plasmids | Cell Type: | Multicellular
Premium Cell Bacteria Eukaryote
The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells
Premium Cell Eukaryote Organelle
Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane. The cell is the very smallest unit of living matter. All living things including plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells are made of atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant

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 fat cell. When a cell is dividing‚ the nuclear

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

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

Almost all plants have roots that grow into the soil to help support its life. Roots are used by the plants to take nutrients and water out of the soil and send it through the plant. They also stabilize the plant. The root is made up multiple parts starting at the bottom with the root cap‚ then the zone of cell division next is the zone of cell elongation‚ and at the top of the root is the zone of differentiation. To figure out what section of the root has the highest number of cells in mitosis we

protect the cell from its surroundings‚ the membrane also regulates the movement of substances that go in and out of the cell. This is composed of phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Cell Wall: The cell wall is composed of cellulose‚ this sugar is used as structure and protection. This organelle is only found in plants. The cell wall has three layers the middle lamella‚ primary cell wall‚ and secondary cell wall. The middle lamella contains a polysaccharide that binds cells to one another

A Plant cell is complex and difficult to understand. A Plant cell is comparable to a party at a mansion. Each organelle which makes up the cell of a Plant is comparable to an aspect of a party. The membrane in a Plant cell separates the cell from the environment and regulates the molecule passage in and out of the cell. The bouncer is considered the membrane of the party. The bouncers have a list and‚ only allow certain people into the party‚ separating who is inside the party from who is
