Plant cell.
Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), and Nucleus.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER).
Cells are often drawn with empty space, but in reality, they are densely packed with organelles and other components.
Mitochondria.
Flagella.
A common misconception is that all eukaryotic cells are highly complex, but some can be relatively simple.
Transport vesicles carry proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus for further modification and sorting.
They are often drawn too large and too few.
Transmission Electron Microscopy.
The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.
In freshwater environments.
Central vacuole and Plastids.
No, while eukaryotic cells are generally larger, there are exceptions where some eukaryotic cells can be smaller than some prokaryotic cells.
Microvilli.
Plastids are organelles involved in photosynthesis and storage, found in plant cells.
They are packaged into vesicles and transported to their final destinations, such as the cell membrane or lysosomes.
Animal cells have lysosomes and centrioles, which are not found in plant cells.
No, eukaryotic cells can change shape, especially those involved in movement or engulfing particles.
The cis face is the receiving side where vesicles from the ER fuse, and the trans face is the shipping side where vesicles bud off to transport materials to other locations.
A freshwater plant.
Nucleus, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, and Mitochondria.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Transport vesicles facilitate the movement of signaling molecules and other substances between different parts of the cell, aiding in cellular communication.
A common misconception is that all eukaryotic cells have the same size and number of organelles, but in reality, these can vary greatly depending on the cell type and its function.
A misconception is that all eukaryotic cells move in the same way, but different cells can have various mechanisms and structures for movement.
The organelles are often depicted as being too large and too few in number.
No, not all eukaryotic cells have the same organelles; some may lack certain organelles depending on their function and type.
A common misconception is that all eukaryotic cells are the same, but in reality, they can be highly specialized to perform specific functions.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, a central vacuole, and a cell wall, which are not found in animal cells.
Mitochondria.
A common misconception is that all eukaryotic cells are uniform in structure and function, but they can actually be quite diverse.
Transmission Electron Microscopy.
Central vacuole.
A misconception is that all eukaryotic cells have the same density, but in fact, cell density can vary based on the cell's contents and its environment.
