- Cells are highly organized structures with parts that perform specific functions. Starting from the cell membrane with its incomparable abilities not only to provide shape and flexibility to the cell but also to determine the nature of its interaction with its environment. For you to recognize these functions, make an illustration (with a title) that shows a place which resembles a cell membrane. Also, write the things that you think they are similar.arrow_forwardOrganisms in temperature zones are able to time their activities to cues given by the photoperiod, since: O A. All organisms have a biological clock. OB. All organisms need time to rest. C. Light is a limiting factor. OD. Day length is always constant for a specific locality and season.arrow_forwardWhat are the three main concepts of the cell theory? Describe in your own words what an organelle is? Are organelles living things? Explain.arrow_forward
- Write a short story about your life as a chemical message/protein that was created by the nucleus. Describe your journey through the cell after the nucleus has given the instructions to have you made. Describe how each organelle affects your journey as you travel through the cell and, ultimately, through the cell membrane. Organelles you should mention include the nucleus, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, Golgi body, and plasma/cell membrane. Be creative and describe as many organelles as you wantarrow_forwardList the four generalizations that constitute cell theory.arrow_forwardThere are 6 common features that all cells share. List each one of them and explain the functions of each.arrow_forward
- In biology, the phrase "form fits function" is often used to describe the relationship between a particular structure and the job that structure has to do. This is easily seen in the structure and functions of the organelles and other components seen in the bacterial, plant, or animal cell. In 3 or 4 sentences, describe the structure and function of two different organelles or cellular components. In your answer, address the following for two separate organelles: Briefly describe the structure of two different organelles, including the name of each organelle. Describe how each of the two particular structures helps that organelle to do its job. Be specific!arrow_forwardCompare the structures of animal and plant cells. How are they different? How are they the same? (Minimum of three similarities and three differences)arrow_forwardEndoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and golgi bodies are structures in cell whose forms dictate their physical functions. Describe their function in relation to their structure.arrow_forward
- what are the organelles basic functions? A disease or disorder that is associated with the malfunction of each cellular component How this organelle is visualized microscopicallyarrow_forwardwhat are seven cellular parts that both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have in common? These are parts common to ALL cells. Do not list cellular parts that are just found in one type of cell (example: nucleus. This is only found in eukaryotic cells). Then state the function of the cellular part (what does it do for the cell?)arrow_forwardMatch the following cellular features and activities with the properties of cells. Cell structure is highly complex and organized structurally. Cell posseses genetic information. Cells engage in metabolism. Cells sense and respond to changes in the environment. A. Mistakes in the genetic material are called mutation. B. Protein receptors on cell membranes receive specific ligands that "communicate" the presence of a simulus or stimuli. C. Cells contain "blueprints" for constructing cellular structures, for rrunning cellular activities and for making more of themselves. D. All living systems are capable of doing "work" in whatever form. E. Cell…arrow_forward
