Disorder 3: This metabolic disease is characterized by an abnormal build-up of various toxic materials in the body's cells, as a result of enzyme deficiencies. There are nearly 50 of these disorders altogether, and they may affect different parts of the body, including the skeleton, brain, skin, heart, and central nervous system. New disorders involving this organelle continue to be identified. Although the signs and symptoms vary from disease to disease in this group, symptoms occur in each case because of an enzyme deficiency that inhibits the ability of a certain organelle in each of the body's cells to perform their normal function, which is to break down complex components into simpler ones. When this process does not take place, the substrate begins to accumulate in the cells. That is why these diseases are called "storage diseases".

Cell specializations are usually a modification or elaboration of one of the basic cell functions. (True or fa1se?)
In biology, the phrase "form fits function" is often used to describe the relationship between a particular structure and the job that structure has to do. This is easily seen in the structure and functions of the organelles and other components seen in the bacterial, plant, or animal cell. In 3 or 4 sentences, describe the structure and function of two different organelles or cellular components. In your answer, address the following for two separate organelles: Briefly describe the structure of two different organelles, including the name of each organelle. Describe how each of the two particular structures helps that organelle to do its job. Be specific!
what are seven cellular parts that both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have in common? These are parts common to ALL cells. Do not list cellular parts that are just found in one type of cell (example: nucleus. This is only found in eukaryotic cells). Then state the function of the cellular part (what does it do for the cell?)
Each of the following conditions involves a disorder in the function of an organelle or other cell structure. In each case, identify the organelle or structure involved and indicate whether it is likely to be underactive or active. Give brief a brief explanation each. a. A man suddenly felt weak and manifested cyanide poisoning symptoms after ingesting undercooked cassava which contains cyan glycosides. b. A young man learns that he is infertile because his sperm are non-motile. A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene causing albinism. d. An infant is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that he inherited phenylketonuria. e. A man develops pleiomorphic liposarcoma (a rare type of cancer) and is told that the cause of the problem is a hard mass of cells in his right inner thigh that rapidly increased in size in a C. matter of two months.
Briefly describe the structure and function of these cellular structures/organelles: endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, cell fibres, centrosome, centrioles, and cell extensions.
what are SEVEN cellular parts that both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells will have in common under the “Cell Part” column. These are parts common to ALL cells. Do not list cellular parts that are just found in one type of cell (example: nucleus. This is only found in eukaryotic cells). Then state the function of the cellular part (what does it do for the cell?).
A single cell is able to perform the functions of the whole body but at the cellular level. What are the 11 organ systems and how do their functions are integrated with a specific cell organelle? Explain. ΒΙ U = 3 3 3 D C & E G
Endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and golgi bodies are structures in cell whose forms dictate their physical functions. Describe their function in relation to their structure.
18) Conduct 1-2 of these investigations and take screenshots of the data in the Lab Review Description tab for each. Note: The screenshot tool is available under the 1) Build a model of a cell, out of household materials of your choice, that shows at least 5 major cell organelles in addition to the cell membrane and nucleus. You can use the organelles you studied in the "Cell Structure" Gizmo®. Take a photo of your model and upload the image in the appropriate field. Tools icon in the upper right of the Gizmo®. Save the screenshot image file. Upload your screenshot into the field below. 19) What assumptions does the simulation make about a cell? Would a red blood cell behave in a similar way? What about a plant cell? Explain your answer.
Choose TWO of the cell structures from the list provided. Explain the general appearance of each briefly and the specific function in the cell. Choose from: Nucleus, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria
A. Choose your favorite organelle. Make a detailed 2-D hand-drawing of the organelle. Writea brief description of its structure. Discuss its significance for sustaining the life of the cell(max. 3 sentences).B. In relation to the formation of cells and evolution of life, perform a little investigation onsome theories on how cells are formed and organelle origins. Draw by hand images toillustrate and support the theories that formed your favorite organelle.
Cells are considered to be alive but none of the individual organelles inside the cell are. Explain what is meant by this.
