Does a cheek cell contain the same chromosomes as a liver cell?
Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.
What is the differences of a human cheek cell and a leaf cell?
Liver Cells contain more Mitochondria than Cheek Cells because the Liver Cells need more energy, Liver Cells aid in Digestion and extract nutrients, whereas the Cheek protects against Bacteria and keeps the oral cavity moist, also cheek cells die and divide more often than Liver cells.
What does the liver consists of?
Ys, every organ in the body is composed of tissues - cells form tissues which form organs which form organisms. The liver is no different - various cells form different tissues that together make up the liver which in turn is part of the organism (the human or animal).
Is the DNA in people's cheek cells as the same as the DNA in other cells?
Yes. Within a single person, all of the somatic cells have the same nuclear genomic DNA; it does not matter if you compare DNA from a cheek cell to a liver cell.
What is heterogeneous liver parenchyma?
The cells in the liver are not uniform, some are different.
Why can liver cells create enzyme and heart cells cannot?
because the liver cell uses different genes than the heart cells use
What is heterogenous parenchyma?
The cells in the liver are not uniform, some are different.
Are there any different cell types?
There are many different kinds of cells. The two overarching classifications are Prokaryotic cells (bacteria and other cells that lack a nucleus) and Eukaryotic (cells that do have a nucleus and a cell membrane). Eukaryotic can be further divided into categories such as plant and animal cells where there are more differences. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large vacuole whereas animal cells only have small vacuoles. There is also cell differentiation in which cells have different structures to complement their different functions. Blood cells have different structures to nerve cells in humans, and liver cells contain massive amounts of ribosomes so they can create proteins.
The signal transduction pathway in animal cells that use epinephrine?
activates the breakdown of glycogen in liver and skeletal muscle cells.
Are animal cells found throughout the animals body or are they only located in certain parts?
The whole animal is thousands of animal cells bunched together.
What are edible animal organs called?
There are several different organs in an animal that are considered edible. These organs are called the kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and stomach.
What type of cells are in plants and animals?
Plant cells are different based on where they are located in the plant. There are leaf cells, stem cells, root cells, nectar cells, and flower cells if the plant contains flowers. Animals have many different types of cells, and they can vary depending on how complex a particular animal is. In the case of a human, we have brain, nerve, stomach, liver, pancreas, bone, and many more types of cells.
