Nucleus accumbens

Eukaryotic Cells The Nucleus. Nearly all animal cells have a nucleus, with the only exception being the red blood cell. The nucleus has two major functions, which are housing the DNA and controlling the cell’s activities. In the centre of the nucleus is the nucleolus. This doesn’t have a membrane, but holds itself together. In the nucleolus, ribosomes are created through the mixture of RNA and proteins. These proteins are originally found in the cytoplasm, outside the nucleus, but they travel through

activated by some other cytoplasmic proteins, for example the stress-activated MAPK, p38, is phosphorylated by the cascade, which start in the inside cell membrane-bound TNF-receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and ended in phosphorylated p38 in the nucleus. This induces effects such as cell motility, inflammation, chromatin remodeling, osmoregulation and apoptosis (Johnson and Lapadat, 2002; Guicciardi and Gores, 2003).

1. Name essential structural elements of a functional eukaryotic chromosome and describe their functions. Centromere-attachment to the spindle fibers during cell division Telomere- are the caps at each end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes. Origins of replication-replication is initiated 2. Identify the four different types of chromosomes based on the position of the centromere. Metacentric, Submetacentric, Acrocentric, and telocentric 3. Name the stages of the cell cycle and explain

Nucleus- which is an organelle is found eukaryotic cells. The nucleus is the control point of the cell which helps control movement, eating, reproduction and also contains genetic material. The nucleus and the other organelles are surrounded by the nuclear envelope; it is similar to the cell membrane. The nucleus contains something called chromatin which is made of RNA, DNA and nuclear proteins. DNA contains genetic material and also instructions to how to make our body work properly. DNA is tied

and eukaryotes cells. Cell division is simpler in prokaryotes than eukaryotes because prokaryotic cells themselves are simpler. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, no nucleus, and a few other organelles. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have multiple chromosomes which are contained within their nucleus, and many other organelles. In eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, all of these cell parts must be duplicated and then separated when the cell divides.

There are ways in which unicellular organisms and single living cells are both alike and different. A unicellular organism is a single cell that can function entirely on its own. A single living cell cannot live on its own and must be part of an organism. In this essay, we will be comparing and contrasting unicellular organisms and single living cell. First of all, let us establish what characterizes something as living, and as an organism. The characteristics of a living thing are as follows:

Serine is an incredibly versatile amino acid. One may find it in silk, one of the most highly coveted materials on earth. Additionally, it may be also be found in a variety of protein sources, specifically eggs. With a range of sources this wide, it is not shocking that Serine performs such an array of functions. Serine is a non-essential amino acid (Carpenter 1994, p.133). De Koning et al. (2003) claims it was originally discovered in silk, the material spiders use to spin their webs. Within the

new cycle starts after mitosis when two centrosomes separate into two daughter cells. The formation of a procentriole is initiated by the stalk and cartwheel assembling from the side of the mother centriole. During the initiation, PLK4 accumulates at the bottom of mother centriole, in conjunction with CEP152 and CEP192, which form rings around the circumference of the centriole. Next, PLK4 promotes the assembly of a stalk and nine-fold symmetric cartwheel that will platform the procentriole and engage

DNA is a double helix structure which helps to keep the structure of the molecule stable. DNA has a phosphate sugar back bone and covalent bond which also help with the stability of the DNA. DNA also has coiling which is also very helpful with the stability of the molecule. DNA has two types of bases, these are known as purines and pyrimidines. Purines are adenine and guanine and the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine. Purines are double ringed structures whereas pyrimidines are a single ring

share certain characteristics but vary from there. Plant cells all share certain characteristics but vary from there. Cells are the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic means too small to see with only your eyes. Microscopic organisms typically consist of
