Cytoplasm is a structure present in all living cells, including animal cells. It is a jelly-like substance that helps to hold the cell's organelles in place and is involved in various cellular processes such as metabolism and transport.
Vacuoles are storage compartments in the cytoplasm that store water, nutrients, and waste products in plant and fungal cells. In animal cells, vesicles like lysosomes and transport vesicles serve as storage spaces for various substances.
true or false? cells have support structure within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton
Every single cell on this Earth has cytoplasm. Without cytoplasm cells would not be able to transport vital materials.
organelles exist in the cytoplasm.
Both plant cells and bacterial cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. These components are essential for basic cellular functions such as providing structure, regulating transport, and synthesizing proteins.
One major storage compound found in the cytoplasm is glycogen. Glycogen serves as a reserve of energy in cells, particularly in liver and muscle cells. It is made up of multiple glucose units linked together in a branched structure.
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm in nerve cells supports the internal structure of the cell, and is the site where various cellular processes occur, such as protein synthesis and energy production. It also helps to transport nutrients, molecules and organelles within the cell.
in cells, microfilaments support cytoplasm and microtubules transport materials within cytoplasm
The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains various structures, such as the cytoskeleton (microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments), ribosomes for protein synthesis, organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and lysosomes, as well as storage granules. These structures help maintain cell shape, transport molecules, produce and modify proteins, generate energy, and store materials within the cell.
Cells do not use starch for energy storage. Starch is primarily a storage polysaccharide found in plants and not used for energy storage in animal cells. Instead, animal cells store energy in the form of glycogen.
