Concept explainers
a.
To sketch: The plasmodesmata between adjacent plant cells.
Introduction: Plants and animals are multi-cellular organisms. Plant cells have cell wall that differentiates them from animal cells. The cell wall protects the plant cell and maintains its shape. It also holds against the force of the gravity.
b.
To list: The functions of the extracellular matrix of animal cells.
Introduction: A cell is the smallest structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms. It contains different organelles to carry out different functions. Some cells are specific to their functions. Unicellular organisms are raised from a single cell but multi-cellular organisms are raised from many cells. Many animal cells are also surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM).

- A tadpole matures into a frog, and its tail gradually disappears completely because some organelle may change during the life cycle of a cell. Identify the role of various organelles as the tadpole changes into a frog.arrow_forwardTabular: 1. Give the chemical composition of each organelle in the animal cells and plant cell 2. Give the function of each organelle in the animal cell and plant cell.arrow_forwardFigure 4.7 Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. What advantages might small cell size confer on a cell? What advantages might large cell size have?arrow_forward

What are a least two examples of this concept?arrow_forwardContrast the extracellular matrix of an animal cell with thecell wall of a plant cell.arrow_forward
- Choose TWO of the cell structures from the list provided. Explain the general appearance of each briefly and the specific function in the cell. Choose from: Nucleus, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondriaarrow_forwardList the similarities and differences between the plant cells and the animal cells you could not see but expect to be present (use your text book for help).arrow_forwardDetermine whether the statement is true or false. State the answer directly, no need to explain. 1. Chlorophyll is the solar energy-capturing organelle derived from photosynthetic bacteria. 2. Proteins embedded on the plasma membrane may also transport some molecules to and outside the cell. 3. Nuclear envelope is a double membrane with pores that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. 4. Eukaryotic cells are considered the first cell type on Earth and are the cell type of bacteria and archaea. 5. Cell wall surrounds plasma membrane which is common among plants, fungi and many protists. 6. Ribosomes direct the synthesis of RNA. 7. The cytoskeleton is a network of interconnected membranes that helps move substances within the cell.arrow_forward
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion After cells have attached to plastic, they begin to spread across the plastic. What molecules in or on the cell membrane are being used for the cell-to-matrix interactions? How is cell-to-matrix and cell-to-cell interactions related to the use of trypsin/EDTA to generate a single cell suspension of cells from cells growing on a tissue culture plate?arrow_forwardTea Study the diagram below showing organelles found in a cell.
