5 Questions
What are the major parts of human cells?
The major parts of human cells include the cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
What is the function of the cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is composed of a jelly-like fluid called the cytosol and other structures that surround the nucleus. It provides structure for the cell and is where many cellular processes take place.
Describe the function of the cytoskeleton.
The cytoskeleton is a network of long fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework. It determines cell shape, participates in cell division, allows cells to move, and provides a track-like system for the movement of organelles and substances within cells.
What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum helps in the process of creating molecules by the cell and transports these molecules to their specific destinations inside or outside the cell.
What are organelles and what is their function in a cell?
Organelles are specialized structures that perform specific tasks within the cell. They contribute to various cellular processes such as energy production, protein synthesis, and waste disposal.
