In what way could you compare your whole body to a single cell?

in a cell different cell organelles do different functions(e.g. mitochondria-respiration) in the same way our body has different organs or different organ systems to do different functions(heart-respiration;digestive system-complete digestion and excretion of food)


What are 3 functions of an exoskeleton?

The functions of an exoskeleton: 1)To protect the internal organs against attack, accidental damage and the elements. 2)To give structural support to the internal organs, muscles & sinues (in much the same way as an endoskeleton does). 3)To facilitate the movement of limbs & appendages.


Why is cell differentiation important?

lol im guess that your doing unit 1: fundimentals of science ! same as me, well if im right, the question you have been given is not very clear in what it is asking you to define. my take on the question is not that you have to go through every system in the body (brain, endocrine ect) which is what some people define as tissues BUT to explain the 4 main types of tissue in the body being; nervous, muscle, epithelial and connective tissue. so in each of those main tissues types you will find there to be different types of cells doing different functions in the tissue. Take connective tissue for example, you have loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue. you have to state that they have different proerties (loose having capibillity of holding water and dense not ect) and say why that's important to the functions and building of the body. don't be confused by the eukaryotes part that's just an other way of saying animal body. So if you go to the edexcel website and look at the speification you can see that this is onyl for the merit so its rather important that you get this right before you can move onto distintion. I know this has not spcifically answerd you questions but that's becasue you need about 10 pages to go into detail about the different tissues and that's you work not mine (and i have NT done it yet :S) .... Good luck :-D


What structure forms the outside boundary of a human body cell?

The outer cell wall may be composed of glucans - sugar based layers, or poly-muco-saccarides, or glycoproteins.Interestingly, while different cell types have different outer boundaries, they all have the same inner boundary: the bi-lipid layer called the cell membrane.


How is the cell of a one celled organism different from the cells in many-celled organism?

One cell or unicellular organism cells are of simpler forms mostly prokaryotes. In one cell organisms all the vital functions which are necessary for the life is carried by the same cell. In many cell or multicellular organisms the cells are complex and are called eukaryotic cells. In multicellular organism the cells are divided and are specialized in performing different functions according to need as some cells like blood work to carry oxygen, some cell hv functions like secreating some fluids like hormones or vitamins.

What does the nuclueus do?

It directs the cell's activities, functions, structure. It's pretty much the "brain" of the cell.The Nucleolus is like nucleus in a nucleus. It does the same exact task, but is the HEADQUARTERS, the highest position of direction.


How is the DNA of your brain cells the same as the DNA of your heart cell?

The DNA in all of your cells is the same because it contains the same genetic information. While brain cells and heart cells have different functions and characteristics, they both derive from the same original DNA template during development. The unique expression of genes in each type of cell leads to their specialized functions and structures.


Does The nucleus of a cell in your thigh muscle contains the same genes as the nucleus of a cell in your brain?

Yes, the nucleus of a cell in your thigh muscle and the nucleus of a cell in your brain both contain the same set of genes. However, different genes are activated in different types of cells, leading to the development of specialized muscle or brain cells with distinct functions.


What is a definition of a tissue cell?

generally, tissue means a group of cells having same structure and function. so, a tissue cell is one, involved in the tissue having same structure and functions as all the other cells involved in that particular tissue.

What does Nucleos do in the animal cell?

Nucleus is the control center of the cell. It contains the cell's genetic material (DNA), which carries instructions for making proteins and controlling cell functions. The nucleus also regulates gene expression, cell growth, and cell division.

Does A liver cell and a brain cell have the same purpose?

No, liver cells and brain cells do not have the same purpose; they serve distinct functions in the body. Liver cells (hepatocytes) are primarily responsible for detoxifying substances, producing bile, and metabolizing nutrients, while brain cells (neurons and glial cells) facilitate communication within the nervous system, process information, and support cognitive functions. Each type of cell is specialized for its role, contributing to the overall functioning of different organ systems.


Why nucleus is not in the same place within different types of cells?

every cell is different, different size different functions different placements in the structure


How does the DNA in a turtles brain cell compare to that of a skin cell why are the cells different?

The DNA in a turtle's brain cell and skin cell is fundamentally the same, as both cells originate from the same genetic material. However, they differ in gene expression; specific genes are activated in brain cells that are not expressed in skin cells, leading to distinct functions and characteristics. This differential gene expression is influenced by the cells' unique roles in the organism, with brain cells primarily involved in processing information and skin cells serving protective functions. Thus, while the underlying DNA is identical, the way it is used by the cells results in their different identities and roles.


Does the DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism?

It is true thatÊthe DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism. The sequence of the bases should be the same in all cells of an organism.
