Cell Wordle

Wordle: cell wordle


Cells are the simplest unit of life. Next are tissues and organs, which are made up of many cells, and then a system, which is run by many tissues and organs There are two types of cells, prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Animals have prokaryotic cells while plants, protists, and fungi have eukaryotic cells. There are millions of different type of cells. In our bodies, there are probably thousands types of different cells such as brains cells or liver cells. Animal cells are different from plant cells because plant cells have rigid cell walls that give them structure and support since plants don't have a skeleton but yet they still don't flop all over the place. Nucleoid holds the information of the DNA. Cytoplasm holds a lot of valuable abundance of membranes organelles with their specialized functions to the cell. It also act as a barrier which control what goes in and out of the cell such as nutrients and wastes. Ribosomes are important for protein synthesis. Smooth ER is important to the liver because it detoxify the liver and its cytoplasmic surface lacks ribosomes. Golgi Apparatus is important since it modifies product of ER and sends them to specific locations. Chloroplast is important to the cell because it is the location where photosynthesis takes place. The cell wall protects the cell to prevent excessive water intake that could kill the cell and the plant. Transport protein function by allowing certain molecules to pass through the membranes.
