Cell Structure, function & transport

Cell structure is a pretty detailed compact thing. There are two cells, Animal and plant cells. They have a lot of the same parts but they also have their own individual parts that the other cell does not have. Looking at Eukarotic cells, they have a nucleus that is the "control canter". The nucleus holds the DNA. Inside the nucleus there are chromatin. It is a material in cells that contains DNA and carries genetic information and direct functions of a cell. The over all structure of an animal cells is, a cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleus, Er, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and mitochondria. The plant cell has a lot of the same parts but there are differences. The structure of a plant cell is like this: vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall, ER, nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. Cells all have different forms of transportation but some of the main ways are, flagellum and cilia.
This unit was very interesting and I enjoyed the labs that took place during this unit time frame.
