What are three organelles that animal cells have?
Animal cells have many organelles, so feel free to pick three from the following list: Nucleus Nucleolus Ribosomes Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Vacuoles/Lysosomes Mitochondria Centriole Cell Membrane
How does a liver cell differ from a heart cell?
brain cells are activated by brain genes and heart cells are activated by heart genes. that's how they function, by their genes
Where is the plasma membrane found?
The cell membrane is the outer boundary of animal cells and plant cells, but plant cells also have a cell wall to protect their cells. The cell membrane and cell walls are the outer boundaries of cells.
Is an ependymal cell a glial cell?
Yes. Glial cells are cells that "help and support" the neurons in various ways. Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells (important for CSF) ect.. are all glial cells (search "glial cell" on wikipedia for more).
Can you show how to build what makes up a animal cell out of clay?
The cell wall is found in plant cells but not in animal cells, but animal cells do have a cell membrane and cytoplasm. Major organelles in the animal cell include the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus.
What cells use lysosomes to break down food and old cells parts?
Lysosomes are organelles found in animal cells that serve to break down food and also recycle other cell parts. They are not present in blood cells.
What organelle breaks down worn-out cell parts?
Lysosomes. They break down worn out cell parts and food particles.They are basically the cell's cleanup crew.
What do lysosomes do for the cell?
Lysosomes break down proteins and macromolecules... They are like the cells recycling cemter
Are lysosomes in skin cells?
Yes, Lysosomes are in all animal cells. Lysosomes remove any waste and bacteria in a cell. This organelle also recycles worn out cell parts.
Which organelle break down worn out cell parts?
Lysosomes..
What is found only in animal cells that contains digestive enzymes to break down old cell parts and debris?
A group of cell organelles known as lysosomes.
Organelles that contain enzymes that break down old cell parts?
It is lysosomes that contain chemicals that break down food and wastes.
Do Animal cells have any parts that a plant cell does not have?
Vesicles and lysosomes
Why don't plants have lysosomes?
Plants do not have lysosomes since they do not need a digestive function. Lysosomes are used for digestion of macro-molecules which do not affect plants.
Do lysosomes break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness?
Yes. Lysosomes break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness.
What cell parts do animal cells have that plants do not have?
Animal cells have a lysosomes that are not present and cilia that are rarely seen in plant cells. The lysosomes are the recycling and disposal site in the animal cell. The cilia help the cell move.
What vacuole like structures break down and recycle cell parts?
Which vacuole- like structures break down and recycle cell parts
