Cellular organelle structure and function Nucleus The Nucleus is comprised of the pore perforated nuclear membranes‚ nucleoplasm‚ chromatin and the nucleolus at the core. The nuclear envelope consists of an inner and outer membrane that forms the outer structure. Contained within the nuclear membrane are nucloplasm which is the fluid medium in which the chromatin is present‚ chromatin being the genetic material. At the core of the nucleus is the nucleolus‚ where ribosomes are synthesized. The

In cell biology and Pathophysiology‚ cellular adaptation refers to changes made by a cell in response to adverse environmental changes.[1] The adaptation may be physiologic(al) (normal) or pathologic(al) (abnormal). Five major types of adaptation include atrophy‚ hypertrophy‚ hyperplasia‚ dysplasia‚ and metaplasia. Atrophy is a decrease in cell size. If enough cells in an organ atrophy the entire organ will decrease in size. Thymus atrophy during early human development (childhood) is an example

Cellular adaptations occur in terms of: * size of the cells that are atrophy decrease in cell size due to decrease workload; and hypertrophy due to increase workload * number of the cells that is are hyperplasia(but this is one change) increase in the # of cells resulting due toform increase rate of cell division due to injury or hormones. * reversible change of one type of cell into another type of cell that is metaplasia occurs due to chronic inflammation and irritation. * disordered

The cell retains a dual existence as a distinct entity and a building block in the construction of organisms. 5. All cells come from pre-existing cells.

Human Biology Unit 1 Assignment. A cell is a small membrane enclosed structure filled with an aqueous solution where the organelles are found. Organelles are small structures within cells that perform dedicated functions. All eukaryotic cells have the following organelles: Nucleus‚ Ribosomes‚ Lysosomes‚ Cytoplasm‚ Nucleolus‚ Cell Membrane‚ Mitochondria‚ Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Golgi Body. Insulin is a protein compound made up of more than one chain of amino acids. Amino acids are the building

apparatus/complex and lysosomes. The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell. Its purpose is to hold the structure of the cell‚ protecting and enclosing all of the other organelles within it. The semi-permeable membrane enables substances to move in and out of the cell. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It is the biggest organelle in the cell‚ containing the DNA and also controls the activity within the cell. The nuclear membrane is very similar to the cell membrane

Cell Processes and Body Organisation Nucleus The nucleus is the largest‚ most prominent organelle‚ usually spherical and roughly about 10mm in diameter. Every eukaryote cell‚ with the exception of red blood cells due to their very specific function‚ has a nucleus. The nucleus’ function is to store DNA‚ it does so in two ways: One is tightly packed and this is called heterochromatin‚ this isn’t read. And the other is loosely packed‚ named euchromatin. Euchromatin is the actively read material
