Describe the structure and function of the cytoplasm. Describe the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. Describe the structure and function of the ribosomes. Describe the structure and function of the lysosome. Why does the lysosome have a different pH than the cytoplasm? Describe the structure and function of the cell wall. Describe the structure and function of the chloroplast. What is the advantage of having several smaller chloroplasts and not just 1 huge one? What are the differences between the plant and animal cells?
Das a lot.
@omnomnom got totally confused..... which one to answer first . @poopsiedoodle good :) Well Done ;) lol
Lol nice @goformit100 :P
what did I do? o.o
Lol xDD
No really. What did I do?
idk... i think it was bout your first comment :D
Cytoplasm contains all of the organelles inside of the cell membrane as well as the liquidy substance which surrounds the organelles, also known as cytosol. The cell wall is usually made of cellulose in plants, and it's function is to retain water and give support to the plant via its rigid nature. The chloroplast consists of an inner and outer membrane and contains thylakoids which process the sunlight into sugars for the plant. I believe the membranes are used for an H+ gradient as in a mitochondrion, but I could be wrong. They bear many similarities. It's more efficient to have many; one reason may be because sunlight can be captured by more surface area hit by the light. I'm not sure of all the differences, but animal cells don't have cell walls, and animal cells don't have chloroplasts.
