Animal Cells
where in the animal cell does cellular respiration take place?
It occurs in cytoplasm of the cell. It is basically conversion of glucose molecule into pyruvate.
What is cytoplasm?
the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.
Why are chloroplast found only in plant cells?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells because they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.
How animal cells divide?
Mitosis is a cell division that occurs in animal cells where each mother cell divides into 2 daughter cells.
Can animals make their own food?
no they must take it from the environment
What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane bound organelles, including a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane bound organelle.
Where in the animal cell does cellular respiration occur?
It occurs in inner membrane of mitochondria where pyruvate formed by glycolysis is converted into carbon dioxide and water molecule.
Which structures are present in animal and plant cells?
They both contain membrane bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes.
What is the function of the nucleus?
This organelle has two major functions it stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA.
how animal cells deal with osmosis?
When an animal cell or a plant cell is placed in a medium, which is a water solution.
What is photosynthesis?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Where in animal cells does diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs when particles spread. They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration.
Cell that does not have a nucleus.
All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA.
Are Animal Cells soft and fleshy or hard and firm?
All plant cells are eukaryotic, meaning that they have a nucleus. They also have membrane bound organelles. Plants are multicellular.
do animals have a cell membrane?
Animal cells are typical of the eukaryotic cell, enclosed by a plasma membrane and containing a membrane bound nucleus and organelles.
Why don't animal cell need cell walls?
Animal cells do not have cell walls because they do not need them. Cell walls, which are found in plant cells, maintain cell shape, almost as if each cell has its own exoskeleton.
Which part of the cell contains genetic material?
Below is a list of organelles that are commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
what are the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells?
Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells.
Animal cells have centrioles?
Centrioles found only in animal cells, these paired organelles are typically located together near the nucleus in the centrosome, a granular mass that serves as an organizing center for microtubules.
What is citokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
What is the function of nerve cells?
Motor neurons transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the rest of the body and are connected to sensory neurons by specialized cells called association neurons.
The layer of two membranes surrounding the nucleus.
Nuclear membrane. The double layered membrane surrounding the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, separating the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm.
Where the attached ribosomes are located?
Ribosomes are found free in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum to form rough ER.
The portion of the cell outside the nucleus.
Structures in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that act like specialized organs. nucleus. structure that contains nearly all the cell's DNA.
