What is the semi-fluid gel that surrounds organelles?
The gel-like substance that encases cell organelles is called the cytoplasm of the cell. The cytoplasm gives the cell its shape, keeps the organelles in place, and breaks down waste using enzymes.
Why is the cell membrane vital to the cell?
The cell membrane is like the skin of the cell. It keeps foreign bodies out of the cell, allows the "good guys" in, and serves as a cushion for the organelles.
Why does poking a hole in a cells membrane kill the cell?
The inside of a cell is an extremely controlled environment; the organelles inside are extremely fragile. Breaking open the membrane that controls the in/out flow of chemicals around the cell allows foreign objects to get inside the cell, causing damage. It also allows the cytoplasm to leak out, separating organelles.
What are all function of cytoskeleton?
It is spreaded through out the cell. It supports the cell.It helps to maintain shape. It anchors the organelles.
How do you think each cell's shape helps it do its job?
the cell's shape helps it do its job because all of the organelles in the cell need all of the space they can get to have room to do jobs and such
What allows a cell to change its shape?
Changes in the organization of its cytoskeleton allow a cell to change shape.
What do organelles allows cells to do?
Organelles allow the cell to grow, live, and reproduce
What regulates what enter and exits the cell and provides protection to cell organelles?
The wall gives the cell its shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane. If there was no cell membrane the organelles would lose their shape and bump into each other. The cell membrane is a gelatin fluid, so the organelles stick to it and stay and shape and do not bump into the other organelles.
Why are these organelles?
Organelles are structures within a cell each with its own characteristic shape ,size and function.
What do microfilaments provide within a cell?
Anchoring of organelles AND Shape
What maintains the cell shape and anchors the organelles in place and moves parts of the cell?
The Cytoskeleton
What does cytoplasm do for cell?
it keeps the overall shape of the cell and contains room and housing for organelles
Why does the shape of a plant cell and a animal cell differ?
they are different because they have different organelles.
What maintains the cell shape anchors the organelles in place and move organelles of the cells?
The cytoskeleton of the cell, made of microtubules to move organelles, microfilaments to contract the cell, especially during cell division, and intermediate filaments to provide support and anchor the organelles, does all of these things.
What helps the cell hold its shape if it does not have a cell wall?
The cell has a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that gives it shape. The cell membrane is rather fluid but also slightly rigid. This allows the cell to change shape but it cannot change shape very much. The membrane can seal itself if pierced by something very thin like a pin.The cell membrane holds it together as it's made of phospholipids.
What organelles help to support the plant cell and help it to maintain its shape?
Vacuole and Cell wall
Why you can not change animal cell into plant cell?
Because both differ in their cell organelles
