How does a bacteria cell look different from the plant and animal cells?
animal cell is shaped like a circle and a plant cell is shaped like a rectangle.
What does the white blood cells do in the human body?
The White Blood CellsWhite blood cells fight disease, kill bacteria, combat allergic reactions, destroy old and/or damaged cells, kill invalid organisms, and are attracted to the immune system. They work together to surround bacteria completely, digesting bacteria with digestive enzymes
Which part of blood is responsible for fighting infections?
White blood cells (WBC) of a type called macrophages are attracted to the site of infection and surround the bacteria, digesting and killing them by using hydrogen peroxide created within the WBC.
What cleans cells by digesting harmful substances?
lysosomes
How does the edge of the cheek cell compare with the edge of the onion cell?
Onion cells, like most plant cells, have rigid cell walls which give them a regular shape. They are stacked tightly in columns and rows. Cheek cells have and irregularly shaped cell membrane. and are squished together in layers.
How do white blood cell kill bacteria?
White blood cells kill bacteria by absorbing and killing the bacteria by digesting it with digesting enzymes.
What is the shape of cheek epithelial cells?
The cheek epithelial cells are flat and irregularly shaped. They are polygonal squamous cells that have a very thin membrane.
How do white cells differ from red cells in their structure?
white blood cells have nucleii (unlike red blood cells) and do not contain hemoglobin (again, unlike red blood cells). they are irregularly shaped, and there are fewer of them in the body.
What would happen if red blood cell is large?
Irregularly shaped blood cells can cause problems with clotting and proper blood flow. Think of the sickle cell disease. Although you're asking about irregularly sized and not irregularly shaped blood cells, I would assume that similar problems would occur. If the blood cells were too large to allow proper and free movement I should think that clotting and the risks/pains associated with abnormal blood clotting could occur. It really depends on how large we're talking.
Are streptococcus cells and prokaryote cells the same thing?
No. All bacteria cells are prokaryotes. This means that they do not have a nucleus with a membrane around it. Streptococcus cells are a type of bacteria. The are round like little balls. There are other bacteria that are rod shaped and these have a different name: bacilli.
How does a bacteria cell look different from the plant and animal cells?
animal cell is shaped like a circle and a plant cell is shaped like a rectangle.
What is the difference between the adrenal medulla and the adrenal cortex?
The adrenal medulla consists of irregularly shaped cells. The adrenal medulla cells are modified postganglionicneurons.The adrenal cortexis composed of closely packed masses of epithelial cells. The adrenal cortex cells are well supplied with blood vessels.
Bacteria whose genus name refers to grouping cells of particular shape?
Depending on shape of Bacteria it is divided into Bacilli (Bacteria which is in the form of 'rod' shape), Cocci (Bacteria in the form of 'spherical' shape), Vibrios (Bacteria in the form of 'comma' shaped which are resembles to rod shape), Spirilla (Bacteria in the form of 'spiral' shaped). And based on the arrangement of cells they are classified as Mono (to which are arranged in the form of single form), Diplo (to which are arranged in the form of double cells together), Strepto (to which are arranged in the form of chain form), Staphylo (to which are arranged in the form of bunch or clumps form). Exceptions: Pleomorphic (which are not present in proper shape. eg.Mycoplasma), Cocobasillus (Bacteria which normally present in rod shape but in corner are in slightly round in shape. eg.Bacillus anthracis).
What does the white blood cells do in the human body?
The White Blood CellsWhite blood cells fight disease, kill bacteria, combat allergic reactions, destroy old and/or damaged cells, kill invalid organisms, and are attracted to the immune system. They work together to surround bacteria completely, digesting bacteria with digestive enzymes
What are charateristics of eubacteria?
Main characteristics are that the bacteria is spherical or rod shaped and characterised by simple undifferentiated cells with rigid walls
What is the function of plateles?
Platelets are irregularly-shaped, colorless bodies. They are present in blood. Platelets are the smallest and lightest blood cells. Their function is to form clots to stop bleeding. (THEY PREVENT BLEEDING). Their sticky surface allows them to do this.
Which part of blood is responsible for fighting infections?
White blood cells (WBC) of a type called macrophages are attracted to the site of infection and surround the bacteria, digesting and killing them by using hydrogen peroxide created within the WBC.
