How do you describe the cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is the part of a cell that is enclosed within the plasma membrane. In eukaryotic cells the cytoplasm contains organelles, such as mitochondria, that are filled with liquid kept separate from the rest of the cytoplasm by biological membranes. The cytoplasm is the site where most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways, and processes such as cell division. The part of the cytoplasm that is not held within organelles is called the cytosol. The cytosol is a complex mixture of cytoskeleton filaments, dissolved molecules, and water that fills much of the volume of a cell. The cytosol is a gel, with a network of fibers dispersed through water. Due to this network of pores and high concentrations of dissolved macromolecules, such as proteins, an effect called macromolecular crowding occurs and the cytosol does not act as an ideal solution. This crowding effect alters how the components of the cytosol interact with each other.
Where in a cell does protein synthesis take place?
In cells protein is made when the cells mate and then the synthesis takes place. It takes place in the mitochondria.
Which cell is more primitive the prokayotic cell or the eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic.
What type of cell is nucleus found in?
A eukaryotic cell is one of two different types of cells. Organisms that are based on the eukaryotic cell are called “eukaryotes” and include plants, animals, fungi, and protists. The only organisms that are not based on the eukaryotic cell are organisms based on a prokaryotic cell structure. It is the only cell that contain a nucleus.
What is the purpose of a eukaryotic cell?
The eukaryotic cell is the basic unit of life in eukaryotic organisms. It has organelles that are involved in the synthesis of lipids and proteins. The cell bears genetic material in the nucleus, and mitochondria to generate energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Are Cytosol found in Eukaryote?
Cytosol is the liquid "goo" inside a cell, and I can't think of any (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) that don't have cytosol. So yes, eukaryotic cells do contain cytosol.
Were does glycolysis take place at?
Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell.
Where does the synthesis of steriod hormones takes place in a cell?
Cells of Leydig
Is it true that the cytoplasm if a eukaryotic cell consist of the cytosol and organelles?
Yes
Whereabouts in the cell are the enzymes found that catalyze the reactions of glycolysis?
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm (in the cytosol), and all the necessary enzymes are there.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
What cell would the enzyme GALT be found?
Since it is linked to the pathway of glycolysis which takes place in the cytosol, the enzyme GALT would be present in the cytosol. This is where glycolysis occurs.
How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
They both have ribosomes, plasma membranes, and cytosol. Cell walls are present in eukaryotic plant cells as well as in the majority of prokaryotes.
Where does glycolasis take place in the cell?
The cytosol.
Where does replication in DNA take place?
DNA replication takes place in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (plant or animal cell or the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell (bacteria).
What is the purpose of cellular respiration in a cell?
The purpose of cellular respiration in an eukaryotic cell is to break down carbohydrates and to give the cell energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration in the eukaryotic cell takes place in the mitochondria.
Where is Respiration in a plant?
Respiration in a plant occurs in each living cell of plant> Aerobic respiration starts in the cytosol and then continues in the mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration takes place entirely in the cytosol
