What else can I help you with?
How does insulin enter animal cells?
Cholesterol enters animal cells when the animal consumes and processes something that contains cholesterol. The cholesterol then enters through the cells permeable surface.
What does blood carry to the cells of an animal?
In its most basic function, red blood cells act as oxygen-transports for animal cells.
The cell membrane of animal cells contains which lipid not seen in plant cells?
Cholesterol is the lipid that is found in the cell membrane of animal cells but not in plant cells. Cholesterol helps maintain the fluidity and stability of the cell membrane in animals by reducing its permeability to certain molecules.
What is the primary function of cholesterol in animal cells?
Your body converts cholesterol into Vitamin D. Cholesterol also facilitates memory.
How in the body is Cholesterol transported?
Cholesterol is primarily transported in the body within lipoproteins, such as LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to the cells, while HDL removes excess cholesterol from the cells and transports it back to the liver for excretion or recycling.
Cholesterol is found in what?
Only in Foods that come from Animalss (its animals)
What do Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum in animal cells?
it packages and transports wastes and other things outside the cell
In which type on cell will you find cholesterol molecules in that cell membrane?
Cholesterol molecules are found in the cell membranes of all eukaryotic cells, including animal cells, plant cells, and fungal cells. In animal cells, cholesterol is particularly abundant in the plasma membrane, where it helps to maintain membrane fluidity and stability. It also plays a role in the formation of lipid rafts, which are microdomains that facilitate cellular signaling and membrane protein organization.
What cell transports proteins?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum for plant cells ONLY, or the golgi apperatus for animal cells scence animal cells do NOT have a Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum only a Endoplasmic Reticulum that makes the protiens.
What structures are present in the animal cell that were not present in the plant cell?
Animal cells have centrioles, lysosomes, and cholesterol in their cell membranes which are not present in plant cells.
Transport vehicles that function to remove excess cholesterol from body cells and transport it to the liver for elimination?
These transport vehicles are called high-density lipoproteins (HDL). HDL picks up excess cholesterol from cells and transports it to the liver where it can be broken down and eliminated from the body. HDL is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because of its role in removing cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Is cholesterol in an animal cell used to store energy?
Not really, no. Cholesterol's main role is not related to energy storage.
