All cells in our body contain almost identical DNA and other identical organelles. However the difference lies in how the genes in these tissues and organs is getting expressed which makes them different from one another.
For eg.A liver cell has different biochemical duties when compared to a nerve cell.Since biochemical function is largely determined by specific enzymes,different set of proteins must turn on and off in various cell types.
Explain why different cells can perform different functions even though they have identical organelles
why/how can bacteria perform glycolysis even though they lack membrane-bound organelles?
Explain why diamond and graphite have such different properties even though they are both composed of carbon.
Explain briefly why cellulose and starch have such different properties even though they are both polymers of hexose sugars
4. Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles. However, they are able to make ATP and survive. a. Assuming that bacteria cannot use their membranes to make ATP, which process can they still use in order to generate ATP? (2 points) b. Why can they perform this process even though they lack membrane-bound organelles? (2 points)
There are more cells than organelles in the human body. Briefly explain why it is false or reword it to make it true.
Cell Organelles and their Functions This unit we are learning about cells and the organelles contained within. In this Discussion, we’ll focus on the functions of the various organelles and cell structures: Cell membrane | Mitochondria | Plant cell wall | Plant chloroplast | Nucleus | Lysosomes | Nuclear envelope | Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Golgi apparatus | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |Cytoskeleton | Cilia and flagella Select four of the organelles or structures above and briefly describe where each is...
several cells were mutated to understand the functions of some organelles. choose which mutation would affect the cell more dramatically and explain why: 1) cell lacking cilia 2) cell lacking ribosomes 3) cell lacking nucleus 4) cell lacking centrioles or 5) cell lacking golgi apparatus
Read the following: Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have no nuclei, mitochondria, or other organelles when they are mature. These organelles are ejected when the erythrocyte enters the bloodstream or shortly thereafter. Post a paragraph that addresses the following: Should erythrocytes still be considered eukaryotic cells? Explain your rationale. What do you predict would be the effects of having no nucleus? Explain. In erythrocytes, the lack of mitochondria is an advantage. Why do you think this is true? Explain.
Even though the basic composition of most cells are similar, there are many different types of specialized cells found in various organisms. For this discussion please choose one type of cell to research and describe. Choose one type of cell not yet described by other students (easier the earlier you post!). Do NOT choose eukaryotic, prokaryotic, plant, animal or bacteria cells (the large categories of cells), rather choose a specialized type of cell found in animals (examples: blood, nerve or...
Explain, why even though there are thousands of types of natural pollinator, honeybees are exceptionally important to food production. What makes honeybees such effective pollinators- do they have any special traits that allow them to be effective?
