Mitochondria: Ultrastructure, Function and Reproduction | Cytoplasm

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria 2. Function of Mitochondria 3. Reproduction. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria: In 1953, Palade and Sjostrand independently described the ultrastructure of mitochondria. Mitochondria are bounded by an envelope consisting of two concentric membranes, the outer and inner membranes. The space between the two membranes is called inter-membrane space. A number of [...]

3 Main Classes of Protein Fibers in Cytoskeleton | Cell

The following points highlight the three main classes of protein fibers in cytoskeleton. The classes are: 1. Microtubules 2. Actin Filaments 3. Intermediate Filaments. Protein Fibers in Cytoskeleton: Class # 1. Microtubules: Microtubules are long thread-like structures measuring about 25 nm in diameter; their length varies up to several millimeters. Microtubules have the following two main properties: (i) Long and [...]

Cell Wall Types: Top 3 Types of Cell Wall (With Diagram)

The following points highlight the top three types of cell wall. The types are: 1. Prokaryotic Cell Wall 2. Plant Cell Wall 3. Animal Cell Glycocalyx. Type # 1. Prokaryotic Cell Wall: a. Capsule: Some bacteria contain a capsule that surrounds their cell wall, and protects them from phagocytosis. The capsule layer is loose, gel like structure and can be [...]
