Why all the cells are found to have the same organelles?
Every cell in your body contains organelles (structures that have specific functions). Just like organs in the body, each organelle contributes in its own way to helping the cell function well as a whole. Some organelles are found only in some cell types.
Do all the cells have same organelles?
Not really, but yes, some organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus etc are found in all eukaryotic cells but chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and centrioles are only present in animal cells. NOTE: Prokaryotic cells does not bear cell organelles.
Why do all of these cells look different from each other and have different organelles?
Cells have to fulfill multiple different functions to be able to build complex multicellular organisms. Differently expressed genes lead to different proteins made in the cell, which leads to different morphology, shape or function.
Do all cells have the same organelles and number of those organelles?
Nope, not all cells in the human body have the same number of organelles (is this what you meant by sub units?) Each cell can have different organelles because they have different functions and differing adaptations.
How do organelles function together in cellular processes?
Protein Power There are two types of proteins: structural proteins and enzymes. Cell organelles must work together to carry out protein synthesis, utilize proteins within the cell, and transport them out of the cell.
Why do different cells have different shapes and sizes?
Cells have different shapes because they do different things. Each cell type has its own role to play in helping our bodies to work properly, and their shapes help them carry out these roles effectively. Animal cells come in many different shapes and sizes.
What cell organelle are found in both cells?
Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.
Which organelle is found in all cells?
What’s found inside a cell
| Organelle | Function |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | DNA Storage |
| Mitochondrion | Energy production |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) | Lipid production; Detoxification |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) | Protein production; in particular for export out of the cell |
Why are all cells not the same?
All cells are not the same because there are two very distinct types of cells that make up every living thing: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are very basic in their structure: they have a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material, and ribosomes for making proteins.
Why do different cells have different numbers of mitochondria?
Some different cells have different amounts of mitochondria because they need more energy. So for example, the muscle has a lot of mitochondria, the liver does too, the kidney as well, and to a certain extent, the brain, which lives off of the energy those mitochondria produce.
