In eukaryotic cells, which all animal and plant cells are, DNA resides in the nucleus, which is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. The membrane is made primarily of a kind of fat (lipid) molecule called a phospholipid. Lipid molecules repel water, which you know if you have tried to wash greasy dishes in ordinary water -- it doesn't work so well. Soap substances break down the surface tension of water so that water can then dissolve lipids, which is why you have to use soap to wash anything greasy.
Soap also dissolves the lipid molecules in the nuclear membrane, so it is helpful in getting the DNA out of the nucleus so it can dissolve freely in the water. Any soap will do, it doesn't have to be clear. The main ingredient of soap which dissolves the lipid membrane is sodium dodecyl sulfate.

What kingdom of life are cheek cells?
A cheek cell is a cell found on your cheek that is used to help keep you alive in some ways.
Comparison between cheek cell to plant cell?
A cheek cell is a cell from a huma and a plant cell is a cell from a plant.
What is buffer AL?
A solution used in biological laboratories to help break open cells and their nuclei to extract DNA for analysis. It's main component is guanidinium chloride which denatures proteins.
What 2 organelles help the cell move?
You might want to double check put i am pretty sure it is diffusion and osmosis.
What cells help you get oxygen?
Red Blood cells help you get oxygen to your cells
What are cheek cells?
cheek cells help to protect the upper jaw bone and, are also used to store un-needed fat.
What kingdom of life are cheek cells?
A cheek cell is a cell found on your cheek that is used to help keep you alive in some ways.
What is the function of the cheek cell?
Cheek cells are made up of squamous epithelium , these are tightly arranged and helps protect against bacterial invasion. Human cheek cells are a type of epithelial cell that lines the interior of the mouth. The function of the human cheek cells is to secrete mucin, which maintains moisture in the mouth to aid mechanical and chemical digestion. To help in the chewing of food. Cheek cells are actually epithelial cells, and are used to line any cavities inside and outside the human body. Cheek cells mainly assist in chewing food and protecting against bacterial infection. They chew the food by breaking it down and the layer they occupy protects the cheek from injury.
What role do enzymes play in cells?
they help cells digest food and extract energy from food. (awesome right !) hehe :P

What does the cytoplasm do in cheek cell?
the cell offers the other parts of the cell to float and become stronger but it takes energy from other parts of the cell so it becomes stronger. this is why your cheeks are not like skin but its gummy because of your cells.
What are the 4 steps used to extract DNA?
This is an ambiguous question: are we talking about obtaining DNA samples from the person, are we talking about obtaining DNA from the specimen? Obtaining DNA from a person is as simple as swabbing the person's buccal mucosa, which is inside a person's cheek. Obtaining DNA from a specimen is a process by which DNA is extracted by using chemicals that emulsify the cells to extract the DNA, then centrifuging the mixture to extract it. The DNA is then pipetted into a radioactive gel that identifies each strand's DNA structure. The preparation is then x-rayed to reveal the unique DNA structure.
What is ciliated cell's adptation?
Ciliated cells help to clear dust and dirt from your airways with tiny hairs.
What are cilia cells?
they are cells in the throat that clear mucus and bad bacteria
What help extract energy from food?
you tell me
