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.

Answer:For every football game there is a team that is expected to win by a certain number of points. In betting​ parlance, this is called the spread. If point spreads are​ accurate, we would expect about half of all games played to result in the favored team winning​ (beating the​ spread) and about half of all games to result in the team favored to not beat the spread. The accompanying data represent the results of 45 randomly selected games where a 0 indicates the favored team did not beat the spread and a 1 indicates the favored team beat the spread. Do the data suggest that sport books establish accurate​ spreads?

The war began in 1845 because;

The Mexican-American War was a conflict between the United States and Mexico, fought from April 1846 to February 1848.

Another reason was;

It stemmed from the annexation of the Republic of Texas by the U.S. in 1845

The final reason was;

and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River (the Mexican claim) or the Rio Grande (the U.S. claim).

Then in 1848, the peace treaty was signed. This treaty added an additional 525,000 square miles to United States territory, including the land that makes up all or parts of present-day Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

The treaty also said;

that Mexico ceded over 525,000 square miles of territory to the United States in exchange for $15 million and the assumption of Mexican debts to American citizens, which reopened the slavery issue.

The most important outcome was de facto independance because  In 1845 the U.S. annexed the Republic of Texas, which had won de facto independence from Mexico in the Texas Revolution
