Cell membrane- the blue outside layer on my model: The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer. The membrane excludes, takes in, and excretes various substances, all in specific amounts. In addition, they must able to communicate with other cells. The plasma membrane needs lipids, which make a semi-permeable barrier between the cell and its environment. It also needs proteins, which are involved in cross-membrane transport and cell communication.
Nucleus- the swirled light blue ball in the center of my model: The Nucleus is a double-membrane bound cell organelle present in eukaryotic cells. The nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell - the DNA. DNA contains the information required to build cellular proteins. The membrane that surrounds the nucleus is the nuclear envelope. Tiny pores in the nuclear envelope, called nuclear pores, then selectively permit certain macromolecules to enter and leave the nucleus.

As these ribosomes make proteins, they feed the newly forming protein chains. Some are transferred fully into the ER and float inside, while others are anchored in the membrane. Inside the ER, the proteins fold and undergo modifications, such as the addition of carbohydrate side chains. These modified proteins will be either incorporated into cellular membranes, the membrane of the ER or those of other organelles—or secreted from the
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.
1. Cell Membrane - A cell membrane in a cell is like the turnstiles and gates of a baseball stadium. The cell membrane is selectively permeable and the turnstiles or gate only let people with a ticket into the stadium 2. Cell Wall - The cell wall in a cell is just like the support beams of a baseball stadium.
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.
A cell is similar to a Prison. The parts within a Prison have almost all the same factors of a cell, because for example the cell wall of a plant cell has the exact same properties, the cell wall protects the cell from intruders or anything that can harm anything from the inside. The prison fence does exactly the same thing, it protects anything in the inside and keeps intruders out. A Cell Membrane is like the wall of the prison, the Cell Membrane keeps everything in place and keeps all organelles in the cell. The prison relates to this because the walls are meant to keep the prisoners in the prison.
Rationale The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the extracellular side of the cell from the cytosolic side (Cell membrane (plasma membrane), 2023). The purpose of the cell membrane is to communicate with the cell’s external environment, to contain the cell’s contents and to control the transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.
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 reason why is that a cell wall and a cell membrane give protection to the cell like a wall does to the school. Humans that come to the school compare to a plant cell too. The way that is true is because they both have organelles. A human is made of cells and cells are made of organelles.
This small component controls the level of materials such as water in the cell. It-the mitochondria-also recycles and decomposes fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, but most importantly, it produces proteins for the cell through chemical reactions. Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal that also help plants keep their shape. In a computer, the Random Access Memory and Spam programs resemble this organelle because of the fact that RAM saves and sends information to memory chips. On the other hand, Spam stores unwanted material such as junk e-mail(s) and gives you the privilege of reopening this mail at any time.
The nucleus is generally in the center of a cell. A typical cell nucleus is so small that ten thousand could fit on the tip of a needle. One strand of DNA is around 6 feet long. This mean that 6 feet of DNA fits inside the nucleus, which occupies about 10% of a total cell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus), of a microscopic cell. For this to happen eight separate histone protein subunits attach to the DNA molecule to
The cell membrane regulates the deoxyribonucleic acid, enzymes, and it builds a pathways for any reaction such as metabolic. When waste products are present the cell membrane gets rid of it and the cell membrane allows important things inside . A great example of what the cell membrane allows in or out is water and oxygen. Specific molecules are only made to enter the cell which is also called semipermeable. Molecules can be passed by active transport or either passive transport.
The Nucleus is the most prominent feature of the cell they are commonly found in eukaryotic cells such as animal, plant and fungi. It basically acts as the brain of the cell in which it directs. It is surrounded by vthe nucleus membrane made up of phospholipids that form lipid bilayers. The nuclear envelop assists in controlling the passage of molecules such as the RNA into and out of the nucleus through the nuclear pores. (Bailey, 2015).
One thing that all cells share is that they all have a Plasma Membrane. The plasma membrane is composed of proteins, carbohydrates, cholesterol and phospholipids. It is located beneath the Cell wall and is much more flexible when compared. The plasma membranes functions are to protect the contents of the cell and control the migration of particles moving throughout the cell.
Eukaryotic cells are quite distinct containing nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. The nucleus is a membrane-enclosed organelle that is surrounded by a nuclear envelope (NE). In the cells a lot of transportation occurs. One of the reasons is that nuclear proteins are synthesised in the cytoplasm, but are needed in the nucleus. Another reason is that to be able to synthesize the proteins that are required for the cell, the different RNA species located in the nucleus are needed in the cytoplasm (6).
It consists of a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs. The bags are known as cisternae, a general term for membrane structures that come in stacks and have a flattened-pancake structure. The discs and tubules of the ER are hollow, and the interior space is called the lumen or cisternal space. The ER membrane is continuous with the nuclear envelope, and its lumen connects to the space between the two membrane layers of the nuclear envelope. ER is divided into two types: rough ER, having ribosomes attached to its outersurface, and smooth ER, lacking ribosomes.
Hello fellow organelles! Vote for me to be the president of the organelle club! For those who don’t know me, i’m the nucleus. I’m proud to say that i’m one of the most important organelles there are in a cell.
