1. Nucleus- present only in eukaryotic cells, this structure stores most of the genetic information of the cell. The nucleus directs the production of proteins through the synthesis of mRNA. 2.
Organelles as organism is from The Lives of a cell authored by Lewis Thomas. Thomas uses a unique writing style that is very recognizable and different from the others. This helps us to appreciate our diversity as human beings demonstrated by our abilities to write differently. As a reader one is able to form an image of who Thomas is by how he expresses his feelings and attitudes. When this text was written a lot of people, mostly scientists, thought and had knowledge of different things than they do now.
Cytoplasm is a specially organized solution of salt, nutrients, and complex molecules in water. The composition of cytoplasm may vary among different types of cells, but its purpose is the same – it provides a medium in which complex reactions can occur. For complex reactions to occur, cells need a source of energy.
The interesting question scientists raised is, can we relate to them? The answer is ‘yes’. For instance, the genes necessary to tell a plant whether it is light or dark, time cell division, and promote the proper functioning of the immune system are contained within the human genome as well. (Armstrong) “People have to realize that plants are complex organisms that live rich, sensual lives.” (Scientific American) Plants smell, taste, feel pain, have memory, and communicate.
The biochemistry is very similar through all organisms with each containing DNA made from adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. First, the DNA is transcribed into mRNA. That specific RNA is then converted into an amino acid sequence by ribosomal RNA. The amino acid code makes up a polymer that ultimately becomes the protein that constructs the organism’s distinctiveness. That is how the given organisms establish their physiognomies.
Lipids are the primary determinants (deciding factor) of membrane structure, while proteins carry out membrane functions. 4. Which organelles are surrounded by plasma membranes? (Eukaryotic cells possess additional internal membranes that surround organelles like) the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and lysosomes. 5.
These complex organisms consist of two organ systems, the root system and the shoot system. The shoot system is an above ground organelle system, this is where the leaves, stems, buds, flowers (depending on the plant) and fruits (depending on the plant) are found. Thus, therefore, meaning that the root system is the below ground system and includes the roots, rhizomes and tubers. There are three types of plant cells which are formed in the meristem (tissue in most plants that contain undifferentiated cells, the cells produced here help various organs of the plant and help with the growth of the plant.) The first plant tissue grouping is Dermal, the Dermal system looks after the covering of the plant, and can be broken down into many subsystems.
All eukaryotic cells are membrane-bound, containing cell organelles which are there for specific functions. The main two types of eukaryotic cell are animal and plant cells, which have some similar but some different cell organelles as they are needed for a range of different functions. They both share the organelles, the nucleus, plasma membrane, nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), golgi body, lysosomes, mitochondria, ribosomes and cytoplasm. However plant eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts and have a cell wall which animal cells don’t.
Plant V. Animal Cell Have you ever thought about what plants and animals are similar and different? They are alike and different in many ways. They are alike because they both have many of the same organs. To begin with Mitochondria which are the powerhouses of the cell and Ribosomes they make proteins for the cell to live. They are similar in the fact that they have a Nucleus , Nucleolus, Vacuole, Cytoplasm and Cell Membrane.
The nucleus control every cellular activity of the cell since it handles sending a blueprint of proteins required to be synthesized by the ribosome. The nucleus contains nucleolus responsible for synthesizing DNA and ribosome and controls all activities of the cell. 1.7 Bacterial Cell Structure Bacteria are the large microscopic group of organisms found in Kingdom Monera and are prokaryotic, unicellular living freely or as parasites. They are single celled lacking nucleus reproducing by spore formation or fission. They live in other organisms and normally cause diseases (harmful) but there are other bacteria beneficial to humans, these include bacteria located in the stomach and those aiding in
The DNA of eukaryotic cells are more complex and extensive. The organelle of eukaryotic allow them to
The second organelle that I would like to discuss is the mitochondria. The mitochondrion isn’t a very big organelle but they are very important because multiple processes occur inside them. The first process that I would like to discuss that takes place in the mitochondria is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is such an important biochemical process to us human beings, it’s because it is how we derive energy from what we eat, and the glucose we get from it. Also cellular respiration takes place at the cellular level.
The mitochondria job is to produce power to the cell which is why it has its well known nickname. Next let's go with the ribosomes, the ribosomes have the important function of reading coded messages that allow reproduction. The cytoplasm has the role of filling the empty
