Cell part and their functions


Nucleus
- Large Oval body near the centre of the cell.
- The control centre for all activity.
- Surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Nucleoplasm
- is the protoplasm in the nucleus.
- contains genetic material ---> CHROMOSOMES (DNA)

Nucleolus
- is found in the nucleus.
- contains more genetic information (RNA)

Cell Membrane
- the outer boundary of the cell.
- it separates the cell from other cells.
- it is porous ---> allows molecules to pass through.

Cell Wall ( Plant Cells Only )
- non living structure that surrounds the plant cell.
- protects + supports the cell.
- made up of a tough fibre called cellulose.

Cyto Plasm
- cell material outside the nucleus but within the cell membrane.
- clear thick fluid.
- contains structures called organelles.

Vacuoles
- are clear fluid sacs that act as storage areas for food, minerals, and waste.
- in plant cell the vacuoles are large and mostly filled with water. This gives the plant support.
- in animal cells the vacuoles are much smaller.

Mitochondria
- power house of the cell.
- centre of respiration of the cell.
- they release energy for cell functions.

Chloro Plasts ( Plant cells only )
- contains a green pigment known as chlorophyll which is important for photosynthesis.

Ribosomes
- tiny spherical bodies that help make proteins.
- found in the cyto plasm or attached to the endo plasmic reticulum.

Endo Plasmic Reticulum ( ER )
- systems of membranes throughout the cyto plasm.
- it connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane.
- passageway for material moving though the cell.

Golgi Bodies
- tube like structures that have tiny sacs at their ends.
- they help package protein.

Lysosomes
- " suicide sacs "
- small structures that contain enzymes which are used in digestion.
- if a lysosome were to burst it could destroy the cell.

Cell Structures & Their Three Main Functions

The three main structures of the cell are the membrane, the cytosol and its contents and the nucleus. The membrane is semi-permeable, allowing selected nutrients and signal molecules inside. The cytosol holds a variety of organelles, which perform specialized functions. The nucleus, of course, holds the genetic code of the cell, along with the nucleolus.

The Cell Membrane
The cell membrane encloses the cell. Its three main functions are to provide a boundary around the cytoplasm, to bind the cells together and to filter different chemicals to determine which are allowed to penetrate the cell.

Molecules cross the membrane by active transport, diffusion and osmosis. Carbohydrates in the membrane promote inter-cell adhesion. The lipid molecules that make up most of the membrane are permeable to water-soluble substances such as glucose, and fat-soluble elements such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The Cytosol
The cytosol is the fluid between the cell membrane and the cell nucleus. It is filled with specialized organelles. The three main functions performed in the cytosol are protein synthesis, making energy from nutrients available for other cells processes and signal transfer.

ATPand Protein
ATP is produced in the cytosol. It is the energy source used by the chemical processes in the cell. It is produced by mitochondria, a type of organelle in the cytosol numbering in the hundreds. Because of their function, mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell.

Proteins are also produced in the cytosol. They are created in ribosomes, ribbon-like organelles that reside on another organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum.

Signal Transfer
Signal transfer, or signal transduction, occurs across the cytosol, from the membrane of the cell to the nucleus. Signals from the outside---hormones, for example---trigger a reaction through the cell membrane, which releases a signal chemical on the inside of the cell. This way, the hormone never has to enter the cell to do its job.

The Nucleus
The three main functions of the nucleus are to control gene expression, mediate the replication of DNA upon cell division and maintain DNA integrity. A fourth, equally important function performed within the nucleus is the production of ribosomes within the nucleolus, the only protein synthesis that occurs within the nucleus.

What changes did early humans experience to help them become more like us?
MrMuchimi
The period of human evolution has coincided with environmental change, including cooling, drying, and wider climate fluctuations over time. How did environmental change shape the evolution of new adaptations, the origin and extinction of early hominin species, and the emergence of our species, Homo sapiens? (‘Hominin’ refers to any bipedal species closely related to humans – that is, on the human divide of the evolutionary tree since human and chimpanzee ancestors branched off from a common ancestor sometime between 6 and 8 million years ago.) How do we know Earth’s climate has changed? How quickly and how much has climate changed? One important line of evidence is the record of oxygen isotopes through time. This record of δ18O, or oxygen stable isotopes, comes from measuring oxygen in the microscopic skeletons of foraminifera (forams, for short) that lived on the sea floor. This measure can be used as an indicator of changing temperature and glacial ice over time. There are two main trends: an overall decrease in temperature and a larger degree of climate fluctuation over time. The amount of variability in environmental conditions was greater in the later stages of human evolution than in the earlier stages.

Per capital GDP of a country is the ____ divides by the ____ Help ASAP :(
Sonja [21]

Answer:

total value of the money supply

number of citizens

Explanation:

GDP refers to the Gross Domestic Product. It is the value of the total goods produced and the services provided in monetary terms. It is a summary of the economic activities of a country according to the citizens. GDP per capita is found by dividing the total GDP of the country by the number of citizens living in the country. The increase in the GDP reflects the country's growth in the economy and the downfall in the GDP reflects the decrease in the economic pace of the country.
