Animal Cell - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Lipid metabolism, cholesterol synthesis, and synthesis of the lipid components of lipoproteins. (liver cells)
      - Synthesis of steroid- based horomones such as sex horomones
      - Absorption, synthesis, and transport of fats
      - Detoxification of drugs, certain pesticides, and carcinogens
      - Breakdown of stored glycogen to form free glucose
- - - - Fimbrin: alters how stress fibers and microvilli are organized in the cytoskeleton.
- - - - Molecules of the rRNA are synthesized, they are combined by two kinds of ribosomal units (Proteins are manufactured on ribosomes in the cytoplasm and imported into the nucleus) . Most of the Subunits leave the nucleus through the nuclear pores and enter the cytoplasm, where they join to form functional ribosomes.
    - - Chromatin“Beads on a string” structure with nucleosomes
        Composed of 30% of DNA, which is called our genetic material, about 60% globular histone proteins and 10% of RNA chains are formed
        
        <Histones
        
        Lysine and arginine, two positively charged amino acid residues, make up histones. They serve a part in gene control in addition to provide a physical way to pack the extremely long DNA molecules in a compact, ordered manner.
        
        Nucleosomes
        
        Nucleosomes are an organelle's basic building block. which is made up of eight histone protein clusters or flattened disc-shaped cores that are linked together by a DNA molecule like beads on a thread.
    - - Nuclear Membrane: composed of two phospholipid bilayers. It acts as a barrier that separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Like other cell membranes, the nuclear membranes are phospholipid bilayers, which are permeable only to small nonpolar molecules
        
        Nuclear Complex Pores: regulates the entry and exit of molecules and big particles into and out of the nucleus by establishing an aqueous transport channel at each pore.
        
        Nuclear Lamina;a system of laminas that preserves the nucleus' structure and functions as a scaffold to arrange DNA inside the nucleus
- - - - Each centriole is made up of nine triplets of microtubules organized in a pinwheel pattern and joined to one another by non-tubulin proteins to form a hollow tube. They serve as the cilia and flagella's bases.
      - Cillia and Flagella
        
        Cilia are whip-like, motile cellular extensions that occur, typically in large numbers, on the exposed surfaces of certain cells. Ciliary action moves substances in one direction across the cell surfaces.
        
        Centrioles, which are considerably larger than microtubules, project in the direction of the flagella. Multicellular and unicellular organisms travel from one location in the organelle to another.
