When cells are not actively dividing, the DNA just looks like grainy blobs.

What does and animal cell look like?

An animal cell is typically round or irregularly shaped and surrounded by a cell membrane. Inside the cell, you can find various organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. The cytoplasm fills the interior of the cell where these organelles are located.


What might a cell look like if it had no cytoskeleton?

Without a cytoskeleton, a cell would lack structure and support. It would likely be misshapen, unable to maintain its shape or divide properly, and would have difficulty moving materials around within the cell. Overall, the cell would have decreased functionality and may not survive in a normal cellular environment.


What does a single cell look like?

A single cell is microscopic and varies in size and shape depending on the type of organism. It typically has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material (DNA or RNA). Cells can be spherical, elongated, or have more complex structures like neurons or muscle cells.


What does a turtles cell look like?

A turtle's cell is similar in structure to the cells of other animals. It would consist of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Additionally, turtle cells may have adaptations to suit their specific physiological needs.


Why do centrioles look like churros?

Centrioles are cylindrical structures composed of microtubules arranged in a specific configuration, which gives them a churro-like appearance under a microscope. This shape helps centrioles in organizing the microtubules of the cell's cytoskeleton and facilitating cell division.
