Cheek cells, which are eukaryotic, visibly contain a nucleus that houses their genetic material, while bacterial cells, being prokaryotic, lack a defined nucleus. Additionally, cheek cells possess membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which are absent in bacterial cells. This distinction highlights the complexity of eukaryotic cells compared to the simpler structure of prokaryotic cells like bacteria.

What other organelle is missing from a humans cheek cell?

Human cheek cells, like other eukaryotic cells, are missing chloroplasts, which are organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants and some protists. Since cheek cells are part of animal tissue, they do not perform photosynthesis and therefore lack chloroplasts. Instead, they contain other organelles such as mitochondria for energy production and a nucleus for genetic material.


Why is the nucleus missing in a cheek cell?

There is no nucleus because it is technically a dead cell.


Are epidermal cheek cells pigmented?

No, epidermal cheek cells do not contain pigments. Pigments such as melanin are produced by melanocytes located in the basal layer of the epidermis and transferred to surrounding keratinocytes, providing skin coloration. Cheek cells mainly consist of epithelial cells that do not contain melanin.


What does a cheek cell contain?

A fact about cheek cells is that they make up you whole cheek. Another fact is that the cheek cell looks like a circle with an outer circle.


What is the function of the cheek cell?

Cheek cells are made up of squamous epithelium , these are tightly arranged and helps protect against bacterial invasion. Human cheek cells are a type of epithelial cell that lines the interior of the mouth. The function of the human cheek cells is to secrete mucin, which maintains moisture in the mouth to aid mechanical and chemical digestion. To help in the chewing of food. Cheek cells are actually epithelial cells, and are used to line any cavities inside and outside the human body. Cheek cells mainly assist in chewing food and protecting against bacterial infection. They chew the food by breaking it down and the layer they occupy protects the cheek from injury.


What are the Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?

Cheek cells are flat, irregularly shaped, and have a nucleus. Leaf cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis and have a defined cell wall. Onion cells have a distinct rectangular shape, lack chloroplasts, and contain a large central vacuole.


Does a live cell contain the same chomosomes as a cheek cell?

How do you stop cheek swelling i didn't get my wisdom teeth out and I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to anything i woke up and my cheek and a little bit of my neck hurt and my cheek was swelling?

The cheek swelling was caused by bacterial infection, which food debris to the periodontal pocket of your wisdom tooth resulted in. Usually metronidazole and cefaclor should be taken orally about one week. The wisdom tooth need to be pulled out until the cheek swelling cure.


Do cheek cells present a mitochondria?

Cheek cells a typical animal cells.They have mitochondria in them.


Do the Russian pbf gasmask cheek filters contain asbestos?

No, only activated charcoal and cotton filters.


Does a cheek cell contain the same chromosomes as a liver cell?

Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.


Why wasnt their a cell wall found in the cheek cells?

There was no cell wall in the cheek cells because animals and human cells do not contain a cell wall; they only have a cell membrane. Cell walls can be found in plant cells
