Is a nucleus a cell organelle or a cell part?

Yes, nucleus is an organelle. The word means little organ. Organs make up a complete plant or animal.


What organelle does an animal cell have that a plant cell doesn't?

Animal cells have lysosomes, which are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that break down cellular waste. Plant cells do not have lysosomes but have organelles like chloroplasts and central vacuoles that are not found in animal cells.


Do all animal cells have the same organelles?

no the plant and animal cells have diffrent organells for example a plant cell has a cell wall but an animal cell does not As you go up in hierarchy there are more complex organelles in animals. For example, the stomach, for lack of better words at this moment, is an organelle. The organelle is compartmentalized many times for the protection of the organism. As with the stomach, it has a much lower pH than the pH in the blood. Therefor, mixing of stomach acids and blood would cause death. Other organelles would include kidneys, intestines, etc.... Alos just a little more info all living thigs have cells


Balloon like cell organelle in the cytoplasm that can store food water and other substances?

Vacuole is the organelle in the cytoplasm that stores food, water, waste, and other substances. It helps maintain the cell's turgor pressure and structure. In plant cells, they are usually large and central, while animal cells have smaller and multiple vacuoles.


Is cytoplasm considered an organelle within a cell?

No, cytoplasm is not considered an organelle within a cell. It is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles. Organelles are specialized structures within the cell that perform specific functions.

What organelle resembles the stomach?

The lysosome, an organelle in the human/animal cell, is most like the stomach. The lysosome contains enzymes to digest materials like food, dead cell parts, and waste. Along with foreign "invaders."


Is a vacuole an oval shape in an animal cell?

In animal cells vacuoles are generally sphere-shaped. An organelle that is shaped like an oval in an animal cell would be the mitochondria.


Is a nucleus a cell organelle or a cell part?

Yes, nucleus is an organelle. The word means little organ. Organs make up a complete plant or animal.


What does the cell and the organelle alike?

A cell is nothing like an organelle the organelle is like an organ for the cell. elle means tiny or miniature.


What acts like a stomach for the cell storing and breaking down?

In the animal cell: Lysosome In the plant cell: Central Vacuole


What organelle is like the cells highway?

what organelle is like the cell"s highway


Is a organelle plant or a animal cell?

An organelle is present in both plant and animal cells. Organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are found in both types of cells. However, plant cells also have additional organelles like chloroplasts and a large central vacuole.


What organelle is responsible for transport?

The cell organelle responsible for cell transport is the golgi body. This organelle is shaped like stacks of flattened sacs.


Is cell membrane an organelle?

No, the cell membrane is not an organelle. It is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell. Organelles are membrane-bound structures within cells that have specific functions.


What is a mitochandria like?

The mitochondria is a bean shaped organelle/cell that mixes co2 with h2o to help the animal or plant perform its tasks


Is a cytoplasm organelle a animal or plant cell?

Cytoplasm is neither, it is a jelly like substance that fills all cells and surrounds the organelles.


Is an organelle in a plant cell a animal cell or both?

An organelle can be present in both animal and plant cells. An organelle refers to the parts of the cell that have specific tasks, for example, the mitochrondrion is used to metabloise energy for the cell. Organelles such as the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum are present in all cells but some are specific, e.g. chloroplast are only found in plant cells. In a way they are like organs in the body, but at a cellular level. Note I am only referring to eukaryotic organisms. check out this site for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organelle
