A vacuole is a large vesicle that is derived from the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus. Vacuoles perform a variety of different functions depending on different types of cells. A vacuole is a space empty of cytoplasm in a cell, lined with a membrane, and is filled with fluid. The functions of vacuoles are storage, ingestion, digestion, excretion, and getting rid of excess water .Food vacuoles, as mentioned earlier, are formed by a process called phagocytosis. Contractile vacuoles pump excess water out of the cell, these contractile vacuoles are found in many freshwater protists. Central vacuoles hold organic compounds and water, these central vacuoles are found only in plants. In mature plant cells, as much as ninety percent of …show more content…
Plant cells have such a large central vacuole for storing water and food. Vacuoles are present in most eukaryotic cells. The large central vacuole in plants allow the plant cell to acquire a large size without the bulk that would make metabolism more difficult. The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that organizes structures and activities within the cell. The cytoskeleton is an important structural component of the cell. The cytoskeleton extends throughout the cytoplasm and is composed of three types of molecular structures, the microtubules, microfilaments, and the intermediate filaments. The cytoskeleton is responsible for cell shape, the movement of the cell, and the movement of the organelles within the cell. The cytoskeleton is very dynamic, meaning it can shorten or lengthen very rapidly. Since the cytoskeleton is so dynamic, it is extremely important in making the cell able to change shape, go through cell division, and migrate. How the cytoskeleton produces motility is by interacting with motor proteins. Within the cell, vesicles can travel along tracks provided by the cytoskeleton. The microtubules are thickest of the three components of the cytoskeleton, with a diameter of twenty-five nanometers. Microtubules are
Both 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale are dystopian novels, however, these books are a lot more complex than mere portrayals of dystopia, it can be argued that they are explorations of dystopia rather than mere portrayals. In order to explore dystopia, many themes must be considered, such as; feminism, love and repression. Nonetheless, it is apparent that human characteristics are the driving point of the two novels, predominantly, the depiction of human resilience. In an imperfect world, it is important to have certain qualities which, if plentiful, it can mean success, whereas if it lacks, it can mean failure, this characteristic is resilience. The protagonists in each novel, Winston in 1984 and Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale face situations which leave them both in disarray, and both even consider suicide. The authors tentatively highlight human resilience, its limits and most importantly its strengths into the two novels.
The Hunger Games was a critically acclaimed movie when it came out; however, some critics would argue that the movie can be sometimes too violent for its intended audience. In this essay I would dissert Brian Bethune’s essay “Dystopia Now” in order to find its weaknesses and compare the movie Battle Royale with his essay.
No country is without its needy. In the United States alone, somewhere around 280,000 and 600,000 men, ladies, and youngsters are destitute every night, as indicated by contrasting evaluations. They are without changeless cabin due to neediness, absence of reasonable lodging, low wages, substance misuse, dysfunctional behavior, or abusive behavior at home. In numerous different nations, be that as it may, common distress, war, and starvations realize vagrancy. Toward the start of the twenty-first century, there were more than eleven million destitute around the world (Morris, 2008, p.208). While numerous depend on destitute safe houses, particularly in winter months, an extensive number discover asylum in autos, deserted structures, on meshes,
“‘They score! Henderson has scored for Canada!’” Foster Hewitt wordlessly described” (Pelletier) when Paul Henderson scored the series-winning goal. This allowed Canada to win the 1972 Summit Series, a moment that no one would ever forget since it all happened during the climax of the Cold War. Prior to this, the Soviets had won the previous three Olympic gold metals since Canada could not use its NHL players. Thus, this provided Canada with the chance to play hockey against the USSR using its best players. This raised the question: if Canada were able to send its best players, would it still be enough to beat the Soviets? Everyone in Canada was certain that the Soviets would not win a single game, but little did they know they underestimated the extent of the Soviets abilities. Tied in the last few minutes of game eight, Canada had to score or they would lose the series. However, when Paul Henderson scored the game-winning goal, never before had a single sporting event meant so much to Canadians. Therefore, Paul Henderson’s goal is a defining moment for Canada in the twentieth century becauseit provided Canada with the opportunity to evolve hockey, proved that Canada and our democratic society were superior to the USSR and their communist society, and brought citizens together to unify Canada as a nation.
Scott Hightower’s poem “Father” could be very confusing to interpret. Throughout almost the entirety of the poem the speaker tries to define who his father is by comparing him to various things. As the poem begins the reader is provided with the information that the father “was” all of these things this things that he is being compared to. The constant use of the word “was” gets the reader to think ‘how come the speaker’s father is no longer comparable to these things?’ After the speaker reveals that his father is no longer around, he describes how his father impacted him. Details about the father as well as descriptions of the impacts the father has distraught on the speaker are all presented in metaphors. The repetitive pattern concerning the speaker’s father and the constant use of metaphors gives the reader a sense that the speaker possesses an obsessive trait. As the reader tries to interpret the seemingly endless amount of metaphors, sets of connotative image banks begin to develop in the reader’s mind. Major concepts that are expressed throughout the poem are ideas about what the speaker’s father was like, what he meant to the speaker, and how he influenced the speaker.

...ulose will be protected from anything that could potentially damage the cell otherwise. It also plays a part in helping cells keep their shape. Cell walls, along with cellulose, provide support for plants so that they can grow tall while maintaining their shape. The size of the plant will determine the amount of cellulose it will need, but all plants require some amount of it and make use of it constantly.
The cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic intracellular platform constituted by a three-dimensional network of proteins responsible for key cellular roles as structure and shape, cell growth and development, and offering to the cell with "motility" that being the ability of the entire cell to move and for material to be moved within the cell in a regulated fashion (vesicle trafficking)’, (intechopen 2017). The cytoskeleton is made of microtubules, filaments, and fibres - they give the cytoplasm physical support. Michael Kent, (2000) describes the cytoskeleton as the ‘internal framework’, this is because it shapes the cell and provides support to cellular extensions – such as microvilli. In some cells it is used in intracellular transport. Since the shape of the cell is constantly changing, the microtubules will also change, they will readjust and reassemble to fit the needs of the cell.
Water passes into cells through a special type of diffusion called osmosis. Water molecules diffuse through the membrane from a weak solution into a strong solution until the concentration is the same on both sides. A membrane that allows only certain molecules to pass through is called a semi-permeable membrane. In a plant, water passes from a weak cell sap solution to an adjoining cell with a stronger solution, as water passes in, the volume of the sap vacuole increases. When a full sap vacuole presses against the cell wall, it is said to be turgid. If water that is lost is not replaced the sap vacuole shrinks and pulls on the cell wall, the cell becomes flaccid; this is known as plasmolysis.
In this cell though, the nucleus was not present. The plant cells and animal cells were very different. In the plant cells there was motion of cell parts but in the animal cells there was no motion. Also, the nucleus and chloroplast of the plant cell were towards the outside of the cell because the chloroplast can receive sunlight better on the outside of the cell than on the inside. In the animal cells though, the nucleus and cell organelles, were towards the middle of the cell.
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis in plants and other organisms. In the structure, the chloroplasts has a double membrane, the outer membrane has a continuous boundary. This organelle can be found in a vast group of organelles called the plastid, chloroplasts are usually found in many plant cells but never in animal cells. Chloroplasts organelles are large; they are 4-10um long and 2-3um wide. They are very important to plants because chloroplasts are what plants use to create food from sunlight. Chloroplasts are not found in humans.
The Animal Cell is a little bit different than the Plant Cell for only a couple of reasons. One is how the Plant Cell has a cell wall and the Animal Cell doesn’t. The cell wall protects and gives structure to the cell. Then there is the Nucleus, which serves as a control center for the cell. Inside the Nucleus there are one or more Nucleoli. They are dense, granular bodies that disappear at the beginning of cell division and reappear at the end. Then you have the Cytoplasm. This is the watery material lying within the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The Cytoplasm also contains organelles, which have specific functions in the cell metabolism. Then there are the Golgi Bodies, which serve as processing, packaging, and storage for the cell. These organelles package and ship things out. Another parts of the cell, a very important one in fact, are the Lysosomes. These organelles are used to break things down and contain enzymes.
Voetbal is al tientallen jaren lang volksport nummer één in Nederland. Deze sport blijft nog steeds razend populair en heeft de Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbal Bond (KNVB) nog steeds het hoogste aantal actieve leden in Nederland. Toch verlopen de wedstrijden in het voetbal niet altijd even probleemloos. Uit cijfers van de KNVB valt een stijging in het wangedrag waar te nemen. Deze cijfers geven echter nog maar een klein deel aan, omdat veel incidenten en misstanden in het amateurvoetbal nog onvermeld blijven op het wedstrijdformulier.
membranes and are also a component of energy depositing molecules like the ATP and ADP.
The strong cells wall prevents bursting. The cell is turgid. If plant cells lose water the cells become limp and flaccid. Water is essential for support in plants.
