- 0:01Do you know the parts and functions of
- 0:04animal cells? In this BioEncyclopedia
- 0:07video, we will explain everything you
- 0:09need to know about this type of cell.
- 0:11Let's begin. What is an animal cell?
- 0:19The animal cell is the basic cell of
- 0:21living beings that are part of the
- 0:23kingdom Animalia. There are different
- 0:26types or specializations depending on
- 0:29the functions they must perform in each
- 0:32part of the organism, such as neurons
- 0:34in the nervous system, leukocytes in
- 0:36the immune system, and eggs and sperm
- 0:39in the reproductive system, among many
- 0:41others. And before we continue, we want
- 0:44to put you to the test. How many
- 0:46different types of cells do you think
- 0:48there are in a human being? A, about
- 0:50500. B, about 350. or C, about 200. Pay
- 0:57attention, as we will answer the
- 0:59question throughout the video. Let's
- 1:01continue. Animal cells are
- 1:03distinguished from plant cells by
- 1:05having a smaller diameter and by
- 1:07lacking a cell wall and chloroplasts.
- 1:11If you are interested in learning about
- 1:13plant cells, don't miss the video we've
- 1:14left in the card. Next, we will explain
- 1:18each part of the animal cell and its
- 1:20function. One, nucleus. The cell
- 1:24nucleus is its control center and is
- 1:26responsible for dictating the
- 1:27instructions for the correct
- 1:29functioning of many biological
- 1:31processes. It is a very important
- 1:34element, as it houses deoxyribonucleic
- 1:36acid, or DNA, which contains the
- 1:38genetic information that will be
- 1:40transmitted when other cells are
- 1:42generated. DNA bound to proteins forms
- 1:47chromatin, and upon condensing during
- 1:49cell division, it generates thread-like
- 1:52structures called chromosomes. The
- 1:56nucleus is an organelle, as it is
- 1:58located in the cytoplasm. It occupies
- 2:01up to 10%of the space inside the cell
- 2:03and is the largest component of the
- 2:06cell. Two, cell or plasma membrane. It
- 2:10is a thin layer that surrounds the
- 2:12cytoplasm and separates the cell from
- 2:13its environment. Its main function is
- 2:16to protect the cell from the outside
- 2:18and facilitate the exchange of
- 2:19materials. This membrane has pores or
- 2:23protein channels that connect the
- 2:25interior with the external environment
- 2:27and allow the entry of useful
- 2:29substances for nutrition and the exit
- 2:31of those that are waste. It is a
- 2:34semipermeable membrane. Its composition
- 2:38is characterized by the presence of a
- 2:40double layer of phospholipids with
- 2:42embedded proteins. It also plays a
- 2:45fundamental role in other important
- 2:47processes such as cell adhesion and
- 2:49cell communication, which allows for
- 2:51the exchange of information with other
- 2:53cells or tissues. The cell membrane
- 2:56uses four transport methods: one,
- 2:58passive osmosis and diffusion. Two,
- 3:01active transport. Three, endocytosis.
- 3:05and four, exocytosis. The cell membrane
- 3:08helps anchor the cytoskeleton, making
- 3:10it vital for maintaining the cell's
- 3:13shape and allowing it to be part of
- 3:15large cell arrangements, which gives
- 3:17shape to tissues. Three. Cytoskeleton.
- 3:21The cytoskeleton gives the cell its
- 3:23shape and maintains its structure. It
- 3:25is fundamental in the processes of
- 3:27endocytosis and cell division. In
- 3:30prokaryotic cells, the cytoskeleton is
- 3:33composed of microfilaments and
- 3:34microtubules. Four. Cytoplasm. The
- 3:38cytoplasm is all cellular material with
- 3:41the exception of the nucleus. It
- 3:44includes all organelles and the cytosol
- 3:46, a colorless, semi-liquid substance in
- 3:49which numerous molecules are found. It
- 3:53is in the cytoplasm where most cellular
- 3:56activities occur, including various
- 3:58metabolic pathways like glycolysis and
- 4:01processes like cell division. The
- 4:04cytosol is the part of the cytoplasm
- 4:07found outside the membrane-bound
- 4:09organelles and accounts for
- 4:11approximately 70%of the cell volume.
- 4:14Within the cytoplasm are the cellular
- 4:16organelles, which are the following.
- 4:19Five. Endoplasmic reticulum. It is a
- 4:23system of interconnected, flattened
- 4:25channels and sacs wrapped in a membrane
- 4:27. The production, storage, and
- 4:30transport of some substances take place
- 4:32in this organelle. It also provides
- 4:35internal support. Although the
- 4:38endoplasmic reticulum is present in
- 4:40most eukaryotic cells, it is not found
- 4:43in red blood cells or sperm cells.
- 4:46There are two types of endoplasmic
- 4:48reticulum: smooth and rough. Six.
- 4:52Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the organelles
- 4:55that synthesize proteins vital for many
- 4:57cellular processes. They are complex
- 5:01molecular machines found in all living
- 5:04cells. Their shape is spherical and
- 5:07they are formed by ribosomal RNA and
- 5:10proteins. These organelles can be found
- 5:14in two forms: free in the cytoplasm or
- 5:16associated with the rough endoplasmic
- 5:18reticulum membrane, where they perform
- 5:20their function of creating protein
- 5:22molecules by joining amino acids.
- 5:26Ribosomes follow the order specified by
- 5:29messenger RNA, which transfers the
- 5:31genetic code from nuclear DNA to
- 5:33indicate the order in which amino acids
- 5:36must be linked. Ribosomes have two
- 5:40parts. The small subunit, which is
- 5:43responsible for reading the RNA, and
- 5:45the large subunit, whose function is to
- 5:48join amino acids to create a peptide
- 5:50chain. Seven. Mitochondria.
- 5:54Mitochondria are the energy producers
- 5:56of the cell. They produce it through
- 5:59the process known as cellular
- 6:00respiration. It is where adenosine
- 6:03triphosphate is produced, a molecule
- 6:05that constitutes the main source of
- 6:08energy usable by the cell to carry out
- 6:10its functions. Mitochondria synthesize
- 6:14ATP from glucose, fatty acids, and
- 6:16amino acids. They do not have a defined
- 6:20structure, as they deform easily, but
- 6:22they are normally elongated. Beyond
- 6:25energy production, mitochondria are
- 6:28related to cell communication processes
- 6:30, cell differentiation, and apoptosis
- 6:33or programmed cell death. They also
- 6:36have control over the cell cycle and
- 6:38cell growth. The number of mitochondria
- 6:41in a cell varies widely. Mitochondria
- 6:45have several parts such as the outer
- 6:47mitochondrial membrane, the inner
- 6:49membrane, the intermembrane space, the
- 6:51matrix, and the cristae. Eight. Golgi
- 6:55apparatus. It receives proteins and
- 6:59lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum,
- 7:01and it is where the collection of all
- 7:03substances that the cell expels to the
- 7:05lysosomes or through the plasma
- 7:07membrane takes place. The Golgi
- 7:10apparatus completes the manufacture of
- 7:13some proteins and packages others,
- 7:15coating them in a membrane before they
- 7:17are sent to their destination, labeling
- 7:20these proteins to send them where they
- 7:22belong, both inside and outside the
- 7:25cell. Its main functions are protein
- 7:28modification, cell secretion, plasma
- 7:31membrane production, and lysosome
- 7:33formation. Nine. Lysosomes are
- 7:38spherical vesicles that contain
- 7:39hydrolytic enzymes that facilitate the
- 7:42assimilation of substances by making
- 7:44them smaller. Additionally, they are in
- 7:48charge of eliminating waste by
- 7:49digesting unwanted substances
- 7:51throughout the cytoplasm. Lysosomes
- 7:55protect the cell from foreign bodies
- 7:57like viruses and bacteria, and even
- 7:59digest parts of the cell that are
- 8:01discarded, such as organelles that are
- 8:03replaced. These organelles contain more
- 8:07than 60 different enzymes that come
- 8:09from the rough endoplasmic reticulum
- 8:11and serve to perform their functions of
- 8:13breaking down and digesting
- 8:15biomolecules. 10. Peroxisomes are
- 8:19organelles that house a large number of
- 8:22enzymes to dispose of peroxides that
- 8:24are toxic to the cell. Their main
- 8:27function is to break down long-chain
- 8:29fatty acids. In animal cells, these
- 8:33acids are converted into medium-chain
- 8:35fatty acids before being sent to the
- 8:38mitochondria to be converted into
- 8:40carbon dioxide and water. And 11. The
- 8:45centrosome is a pair of cylindrical
- 8:47structures coordinated and composed
- 8:49mainly of a protein called tubulin,
- 8:51which are called centrioles. Centrioles
- 8:55are involved in two processes: division
- 8:58and locomotion. Cellular movement. They
- 9:01are also related to the organization of
- 9:03the cytoskeleton. The centrosome is
- 9:06only found in the animal cell. And
- 9:09returning to the question we asked you
- 9:10before, have you thought about it
- 9:12carefully? The correct answer is C. In
- 9:14the human being, there are
- 9:16approximately 200 types of cells. Did
- 9:17you get it right? And that is all for
- 9:19today's video about the animal cell.
