Cilia works because they are little hairs all around the cell and they move to propel the cell around. They are very important components to the cells because without them they are not able to move :)

What does the Centrosome do for the cell?

Centrosome (n.): a region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus. It contains the centrioles and organizes microtubules


Centrioles are found at the center of the?

centrioles are found at the center of the centrosome, which is an organelle found in animal cells. Centrioles help in cell division by organizing the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during mitosis.


What is the area near the nucleus that is made of two centrioles?

The area near the nucleus that is made of two centrioles is the centrosome. Centrioles play a key role in cell division by organizing the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during mitosis.


Are centrioles cell structures that are involved primarily in cell division?

Yes The centrosome, also called the "microtubule organizing center", is an area in the cell where microtubles are produced. Within an animal cell centrosome there is a pair of small organelles, the centrioles, each made up of a ring of nine groups of microtubules. There are three fused microtubules in each group. The two centrioles are arranged such that one is perpendicular to the other. During animal cell division, the centrosome divides and the centrioles replicate (make new copies). The result is two centrosomes, each with its own pair of centrioles. The two centrosomes move to opposite ends of the nucleus, and from each centrosome, microtubules grow into a "spindle" which is responsible for separating replicated chromosomes into the two daughter cells.


Nonmembranous structure that contains the centrioles?

The centrosome is a nonmembranous structure that contains the pair of centrioles. The centrioles play a role in organizing the microtubules during cell division.


Structure in an animal cell that aids in cell division(normally in pairs?

Centrioles are the structures in animal cells that aid in cell division and are normally found in pairs at the centrosome. During cell division, the centrioles help organize the microtubules of the spindle apparatus, which is crucial for proper chromosome segregation.


What does the centrosome in a cell do?

The centrosome, aka, centrioles is only found in an animal cell and is not visible under a light microscope. The function of this organelle is to form the spindle (a stage in cell division) for cell division. (Meitosis/Meiosis). :)


What is a centrosome like compared to a city?

A centrosome is like the city's central transportation hub, coordinating and organizing movement within the cell. It contains structures called centrioles that help with cell division and organization. Just like how a city relies on its transportation hub for efficient movement, a cell relies on the centrosome for proper cellular function.


What does centrosome do?

The centrosome contains centrioles.


Are the centrioles and the centrosomes the same?

Centromere is the 'waist' of a chromosome. The structure where mitotic spindles attach to the kinetochore while centrosome is an organelle where microtubules are formed in some cells. Centrosome contains a paired centriole.


In cytoplasmic material of animal cells contain centrioles what the regions?

Centrioles are found in the centrosome region of animal cells. The centrosome is an area near the nucleus that contains a pair of centrioles. These structures play a critical role in cell division by organizing the microtubules that form the mitotic spindle.
