What are the organelles supended in a cell?

The organelles, attached to various cell fibers, ( tubules and microfiliments ) are suspended in the somewhat jelly like substance called the cytosol. Between the nuclear envelope and the membrane all contents of the cell, organelles and the rest, is the cytoplasm.


What structures do amoebas use to move?

Amoebas move by using structures called pseudopods, which are temporary protrusions of their cell membrane that form in the direction they want to move. They extend and contract these pseudopods to push themselves forward in a process known as amoeboid movement.


What are intermediate fibers?

A framework, "net" or "basket-like" structure found in cells. AKA: intermediate filaments or microfiliments. They provide structure for the cell and are an important component of the cytoskeleton. During cell division the filiments enable the cell to pinch off into 2 cells and are involved in amoeboid movements of certain types of cells. They also anchor organelles to parts of the cell.


Contrast cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?

Animal cells have a ring of actin microfiliments called the "contractile ring" which constricts around the cell. This produces a groove in the cell surface where the cell will eventually be pinched into 2 daughter cells, each with a nucleus containing an identical set of chromosomes. Plant cells have a double membrane called the "cell plate" which forms at the same place as an old metaphase plate. A new cell wall is then made between the 2 membranes of the cell plate. Shortened: An animal cell pinches off to create 2 cells each with their own set of chromosomes, while a plant cell forms a cell plate that grows and splits into 2 cells each with a plasma membrane.
