Is DNA found in the nulcei of all cells?

Not all cells have a nucleus. Also nuclei is plural many cells only have one nucleus. Generally cells that have a nucleus have DNA in it. It is suspected that originally the nucleus of cells had RNA instead of DNA and it is suspected that some cells still have RNA in their nucleus. A number of viruses use RNA instead of DNA.


What cells are mainly used to kill infectious microbes and tumor cells?

The cells mainly used to kill infectious microbes and tumor cells are immune cells called cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells. These cells can recognize infected or abnormal cells and destroy them by releasing toxic chemicals or by inducing programmed cell death.


What do cells do to activate nucleotides for incorporation into a polymer?

Cells activate nucleotides for incorporation into a polymer by converting them into their triphosphate forms, such as ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP. This activation typically involves the addition of two phosphate groups to the nucleotide, which is catalyzed by specific enzymes. The triphosphate form provides the necessary energy for polymerization during processes like DNA or RNA synthesis, facilitating the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides in the growing polymer chain.


Do all living cells have a wall?

No,not every cell has.Animal cells and some protozoans lack it mainly.


What is mainly found in animal cells mitochondria lydsosome ridosome or Golgi complexes?

Mitochondria are mainly found in animal cells. They are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Lysosomes, ribosomes, and Golgi complexes are also present in animal cells, but mitochondria are specifically known for their energy production role.
