Study Notes
Presence of Mitochondria
- Mitochondria are essential organelles found in most eukaryotic cells, including animal, plant, and fungal cells.
- They are responsible for cellular respiration, the process of converting glucose into energy (ATP).
- Cells that require significant energy production, such as muscle cells and neurons, contain a higher density of mitochondria.
Microtubule Organization
- Centrioles are small, cylindrical structures found in the cytoplasm of animal cells.
- They are composed of microtubules, which are protein filaments that play a role in cell division.
- During cell division, centrioles organize the microtubules into a structure called the spindle, which helps separate the chromosomes.
Characteristics of Nucleated Cells
- Nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.
- It contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) in the form of chromosomes.
- Cells with a nucleus are generally more complex and have a higher degree of organization than prokaryotic cells.
Similarities between Yeast and Animal Cells
- Yeast cells are unicellular fungi, while animal cells are found in multicellular organisms.
- Both yeast and animal cells are eukaryotes, which means they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- Both types of cells contain ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis.
Centrosome Presence
- A centrosome is a structure found in the cytoplasm of animal cells.
- It consists of two centrioles and is involved in the organization of microtubules during cell division.
- Plants and most fungi lack centrosomes.
