the DNA
Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall.
It determines the shape of the cell.
All the different parts of a cell specialize in different things and all the units in the military specialize in different things. Both the different parts of the cell and the military units contribute to the whole by doing their part.
The cell membrane is a major component of an animal cell that determines its structure and function. It acts as a protective barrier, regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell, and plays a key role in cell communication and signaling.

the DNA
Cell specialization is determined by the activation or suppression of specific genes in the cell, which control its development and function. This process is regulated by various signaling pathways and environmental cues that influence gene expression. Cells differentiate into specific cell types based on the combination of genes that are turned on or off within their genetic code.
The nucleus regulates the cell's activities, because it controls what the cell does, what comes inside the cell and leaves the cell. It acts like the 'brain' of the cell.
Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall.
The cell part with information that determines a living thing's traits is the chromosome. A chromosome is a thread-like structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information.
The DNA, located in the nucleus of the cell, carries the genetic information that determines traits. This information is encoded in specific sequences of nucleotides and is passed down from generation to generation.
The shape of a cell is what determines its function. Cells are surrounded by cell membranes.
The cell membrane, which is a semi-permeable structure made up of lipids and proteins, regulates what enters and exits the cell. It controls the movement of substances like nutrients, ions, and waste products in and out of the cell to maintain internal balance and proper functioning.
The DNA, located in the cell's nucleus, determines the characteristics of a living thing through the expression of genes. Genes provide the instructions for producing proteins that drive various cellular functions, ultimately influencing the organism's traits and behaviors.
