  2. Cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

    A plant cell wall was first observed and named (simply as a "wall") by Robert Hooke in 1665. [3] However, "the dead excrusion product of the living protoplast" was forgotten, for almost three centuries, being the subject of scientific interest mainly as a resource for industrial processing or in relation to animal or human health.

  3. List of sequenced animal genomes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sequenced_animal...

    This list of sequenced animal genomes contains animal species for which complete genome sequences have been assembled, annotated and published. Substantially complete draft genomes are included, but not partial genome sequences or organelle-only sequences.

  4. Talk:Animal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Animal_cell

    What do plant cells have that animals cells don't? Plant cells have a cell wall, righlol vorite pigment, chlorophyll.Many plant cells have a large central vacuole, which serves to increase the cell's surface area without increasing the amount of metabolically active volume within the cell (see surface area to volume ratio).

  5. Cell mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_mechanics

    Animal cell structure. Because animal cells [6] do not have cell walls to protect them like plant cells, they require other specialized structures to sustain external mechanical forces. All animal cells are encased within a cell membrane made of a thin lipid bilayer that protects the cell from exposure to the outside environment.

  6. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Some eukaryotic cells (plant cells and fungal cells) also have a cell wall. Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome (DNA), ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. [2] The genetic material is freely found in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids, which are usually circular.

  7. Single-cell analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cell_analysis

    This single cell shows the process of the central dogma of molecular biology, which are all steps researchers are interested to quantify (DNA, RNA, and Protein).. In cell biology, single-cell analysis and subcellular analysis [1] refer to the study of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and cellcell interactions at the level of an individual cell, as opposed to more ...

  8. Contractile vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contractile_vacuole

    The contractile vacuole is predominant in species that do not have a cell wall, but there are exceptions (notably Chlamydomonas) which do possess a cell wall. Through evolution , the contractile vacuole has typically been lost in multicellular organisms, but it still exists in the unicellular stage of several multicellular fungi , as well as in ...

  9. Plasmodesma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodesma

    These eventually become the cytoplasmic connections between cells. At the formation site, the wall is not thickened further, and depressions or thin areas known as pits are formed in the walls. Pits normally pair up between adjacent cells. Plasmodesmata can also be inserted into existing cell walls between non-dividing cells (secondary ...
