What cell has no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles?
bateria cells, otherwise known as prokaryotic cells.
Explain the difference between axon and dendrites?
Axons transfer information away from cells, have smooth surfaces, are singular in a cell, do not have ribosomes, have myelin, and branch away from the cell. Dedrites transport information to the cells, have rough surfaces, are multiple in a cell, have ribosomes, do not have myelin, and branch near the cell.
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
What helps to support the plant cell and help it to maintain its shape?
The thing that helps to support the plant cell and helps it to maintain its shape is called the cell wall. The cell wall is only found on plant cells.
What organelle helps keep the cell shape and determine what goes in and out of the cell?
Cell Wall
What part of bacteria cell helps it stick to surfaces?
pilus
What is a defense in which bateria are attacked?
Cell lysing? Endocytosis?
What cell has no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles?
bateria cells, otherwise known as prokaryotic cells.
How many cells make up bateria?
Bacteria are generally unicellular organisms, meaning they consist of one cell.
How many cells do bateria have?
Bacteria are unicellular organisms; one cell. Some bacteria for cooperative colonies though.
What part of the bacteria cell helps it stick to surfaces?
Pilus
Bateria exchange genetic material?
Bacteria exchange genetic material, in the form of plasmids, through conjugation. Conjugation is achieved when a pili from once cell attaches to the cell wall of another cell..
What are the stiff surfaces that support a cell called?
Cell wall
What cell sticks to surfaces?
i do not know
What kind of cells is also called an epithelial cell?
They cover the surfaces and the cavities of the body. Outer most layer of surfaces is an epithelial cell
What kind of cell is also called the epithelial cell?
Epithelial cells make up the glands, and the tissues that line the surfaces of blood vessels and organs in the body.
Which substance are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
