    storing proteins, it also creates it's own proteins and phospholipids to put in it's membrane. Portions of the rough ER's membrane are closed to form sealed sacs called transport vesicles. These vesicles carry the proteins to the Golgi apparatus. The endoplasmic

    There are two major groups that cells can be grouped into to. These are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. All eukaryotic cells contain a plasma membrane, as well as cytoplasm and organelles such as mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, ribosomes, a nucleus which is surrounded by a double membrane known as the nuclear envelope, and secretory vesicles. There are some eukaryotic cells which contain more organelles as well as theses. Some eukaryotic cells, specifically

    UNIT 4: HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY CELLS AND TISSUES This is a diagram of an animal cell with all its key components labelled The structures within an animal cell are described as follows: Plasma Membrane or Cell Membrane: This is a thin membranous layer which surrounds the cell and acts as a barrier, it works to separate the contents within the cell from its external environment as well as from other cells. It 's structure is important as it provides structural

    important for the cell to survive. Each organelle has a specific function for the cell. The types of organelles in the cell can be different from each other depending on the type of cell. Plant cells and animal cells both have a cytoskeleton, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, nucleus, plasma membrane, and ribosomes. Animal and plant cells also have vacuoles, but they are rarely found in animal cells. Vacuoles in animal cells are very small compared to the vacuoles

    organelles exist within the cells of the human body, (Biology, 2015). Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Mitochondria, Vacuoles, The Nucleus, and many more can be found within the cell. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, or simply ‘Rough ER” is studded with protein builders known as ‘Ribosomes’ and is used within the human body to manufacture lysosomal enzymes and secreted proteins. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum or ‘Smooth ER’ is characterised by its lack of Ribosomes. Its uses within the body include

    Eukaryotic organisms are between 5-10 um. Prokaryotic organisms have pili, cytosol, ribosomes, capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, DNA, and chromosome also known as plasmids. (Cundy, 2012) They do not have a nucleus, lysosomes, microtubules, endoplasmic reticulum,

    in composition, shape and enzyme inclusion. Members of Membrane Bound Organelle Systems include the Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosomes, Mitochondria and Peroxisomes. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): is a continuous membrane system which forms flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of Eukaryotic cells and acts a barrier between Cytosol and fluid with the structure. The Endoplasmic Reticulum plays a variety of different roles including the synthesis, folding, modification and transport of proteins

    WHICH CELL IS THE MOST CRUCIAL TO LIVING ORGANISMS? Anu Bhandary According to the Oxford Dictionary, a cell is defined as “The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, which is typically microscopic and consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane (Dictionary.com, 2016: para.2).” An organism is said to only be classified as living if it contains cells or the products of cells. However, there are two different kinds of cells. One type is prokaryotic cells, these cells

    Which is like the ribosomes, whom create the proteins needed for the body. Like the endoplasmic reticulum, the checkout line is the same thing. It allows the groceries to be shipped out of the store. The store stores them in bags which you take with you. The endoplasmic reticulum is the same thing because it is used as a packaging and shipping job, while moving proteins through the body. Like the golgi body, the shipping trucks do
