Animal Cell Song I’m here to talk to you about animal cells. They are made up of many organelles. Chromosome‚ nucleus‚ those are a few They need them to live like me and you. Well we’ll start with the nucleus the “command center.” It’s the brain of the cell and keeps it away from danger. It’s a safe haven for the chromosomes. They store DNA like our own. The precious DNA carries our genes. Genes tell the cell what to do like info. machines. Now let’s talk about the mitochondrion

difference between plant and animal comes down to cell structure. Animal cells do not have cell walls and have different structures than plant cells. Plant cells only are in rectangular shapes but animal cells are either circular‚ irregular or defined shapes depending on the type of cell. Plants have 3 basic organs; roots‚ stems‚ and leaves. Plants lack a brain and all the organs that animals have to carry out metabolic functions as animals take their carbon from organic substances and plants take their

Enzymes and their importance in plants and animals (25 marks) Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which accelerate the speed of chemical reactions in the body without being used up or changed in the process. Animals and plants contain enzymes which help break down fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins into smaller molecules the cells can use to get energy and carry out the processes that allow the plant or animal to survive. Without enzymes‚ most physiological processes would not take place. Hundreds of

For each structure identified‚ do you think its location affects its ability to function? Why or why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane) Everything in a cell seems to be in a position‚ size‚ etc that enables

Functions and structure of plant terpenes Terpenes are an enormous class of organic compounds‚ that are produced by a wide variety of plants and fungi‚ especially conifers. Terpenes are also produced by some of the living organisms‚ like swallowtail butterflies. They emit terpenes from their osmeterium. Terpenes are important materials for a plant as components of its body and as a material to protect it from external enemies since it has a strong smell and colorless. Terpenes are found in biological

Chapter 5 Membrane Structure and Function Winter wheat is planted in the early fall‚ grows over the winter when the weather is colder‚ and is harvested in the spring. As the temperature drops from fall to winter‚ the makeup of the plasma membrane of winter wheat changes. Unsaturated fatty acids replace saturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of the membrane. Why would colder weather select for the different lipid makeup in the plasma membrane? An abstract in the Canadian Journal of Botany

[1] They are small‚ membrane bounded organelles that have at least fifty different enzymes for several metabolic reactions. [2] Their appearance is like lysosomes; however‚ their main function is oxidation reactions especially oxidation

Lysosomes- Clean-up organelle it digests and breaks down lipids‚ carbs‚ and proteins. Nuclear Pore- Dots on the envelope which allows material in the and out of the nucleus. Cell Membrane- It surrounds the cell and regulates what enters and leaves the cell. It is selectively

Lab 4: Cell Structures and the Gram Stain Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the use of a compound microscope and the Gram Stain test. Students will review a brief video and slides to introduce the compound microscope. Students will also view a video about the Gram Stain procedure and then answer questions related to it. Hypothesis If I look at the slides I will see where the cell wall is and what lies inside it and in the Gram Stain if I watch the video I will

chapter on chemistry. Cells are considered to be the smallest structure that is alive. They are often too small to see without the aid of a microscope. All living organisms are composed of cells. The smallest organisms are composed of a single cell; larger organisms are composed of more than one cell. Similar kinds of cells may be arranged together to form a tissue. Tissues have specific properties and functions. For example muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells. It functions to move body
