The characteristics of most unsaturated fatty acids found within a human cell are deprotonated carboxylic acid and cis double bonds.

  • With the exception of steroids, fatty acids are carboxylic acids that provide the structural foundation of fats, oils, and all other types of lipids. More than 70 have been found in the natural world.
  • They are typically unbranched, contain an even number of carbon atoms (often 12–20), and can be divided into groups based on the existence and quantity of carbon–carbon double bonds.
  • As a result, saturated fatty acids don't have any carbon-to-carbon double bonds, while monounsaturated fatty acids have one, and polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more.

How does the primary transcript in the nucleus of a prokaryotic cell compare to the functional mrna?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

None of the answers is correct, because prokaryotic cell doesn't have nucleus

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cell, primary transcript is RNA synthesized via transcription in the nucleus. After processing it becomes mature mRNA. The processes of processining are addition of the 5' cap, 3'-polyadenylation, and alternative splicing (excision of introns). Because during the processing of RNA introns are removed the primary transcript is larger than the mRNA.

What is inside an animal cell<br> Besides, mitochondria,vacuole and nucleus
Virty [35]

"<u>cell  membrane </u>- the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
<u>centrosome</u> - (also called the "microtubule organizing center") a small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. The centrosomes is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome.
<u>cytoplasm</u> - the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.
<u>Golgi body</u> - (also called the Golgi apparatus or golgi complex) a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. The Golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.
<u>lysosome</u> - (also called cell vesicles) round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place.
<u>mitochondrion</u> - spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae). The mitochondrion converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell.
<u>nuclear membrane</u> - the membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
<u>nucleolus</u> - an organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced. Some cells have more than one nucleolus.
<u>nucleus</u> - spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane.
<u>ribosome</u> - small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
<u>rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> - (rough ER) a vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). Rough ER is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance.

<u>smooth endoplasmic reticulum</u> - (smooth ER) a vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. Smooth ER transports materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins.

<u>vacuole</u> - fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell. The vacuole fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell." I quote from my science paper. It  was exhausting! But I know all this so I added some extra.
