Write an essay that details the structure and function of a eukaryotic cell, how its cell membrane functions, and details of how that cell will carry out mitosis and meiosis.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Since it's an essay type question, I'll suggest you to read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

ok

Here is an basic overview about Eukaryotic cell, An eukaryotic cell (True cell) is distinct from prokaryotic cell as it have membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast, golgi complex etc. These include all thye protists, plants, animals and fungi. These cells have a variety of complex locomotry and cytoskeletal structures . Their genetic material is organised into chromosomes.

is this like the answer to my question?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It covers only a part of it, about the structure. You will have to read the article to answer it. It's ESSAY type :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thnx for most of your help :]

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Welcome :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

or wait should I say Meow :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehe xD

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Feel free to ask me if you get stuck anywhere.....

will do :]

The structure of the eukaryotic cell is as follows: It is separates into many different sections or what we call organelles. Each organelle carries out a diverse function. The different organelles contain: mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, peroxisomes, etc. The structure is enforced by interlacing fibers known as microtubules and microfilaments. The membrane is composed of millions of phospholipids that are amphiphilic that separate the cells inner environment with the outside space. Spread throughout and across the membrane are thousands of different proteins that allow certain molecules to pass in and out of the cell as well as to bind different ligands to stimulate cellular responses. Mitosis and meiosis are both motivated by different factors. Meiosis by reproduction of an egg cell from a sperm cell while mitosis can be signaled by a variety of hormones, protein concentration within the cell, size, etc. Regardless, each process requires the chromosomes in the nucleus to disperse into their loose forms which allows the genes to be copied by a variety of enzymes and ensure that every cell division will yield two genetically identical cells. After the newly copied chromosomes are formed, they condense once again and a large array of microtubules (as mentioned earlier) help bind to these chromosomes and pull them in opposite directions towards the poles of the single cell preparing to divide into two daughter cells. Eventually, the formation of two completely new cells occurs (known as cytokinesis) and the process is complete.
