Hello everyone.
00:01
Today we're going to look at eukaryotic cells and how they carry out their functions.
00:05
Think about the skeleton of your body.
00:07
It holds you upright.
00:08
Without it, you would be a blob or jelly on the floor.
00:12
Since your body would have lost most of its structure, apply the same concept to a cell.
00:16
Cells also need some form of a skeleton to provide them with structural support, which in this case is the cytoskeleton.
00:24
The objectives for today are to briefly look at the parts of a eukaryotic cell and specifically focus on the cytoskeleton.
00:33
This is the general structure for eukaryotic cell, and it has all these parts which i will briefly talk about.
00:39
There are the ribosomes, which produce proteins.
00:42
There's the mitochondria, which produces atp.
00:44
And we all know that atp is needed as a short -term energy transfer.
00:48
There's the golgi apparatus, which modifies and transfer proteins.
00:52
There's the lysosomes, which contains enzymes to digest and recycle material, peroxosomes, which break down fatty acids and amino acids to produce hydrogen peroxide and etc.
01:02
But today, we will mainly focus on the cytoskeleton.
01:10
So let's zoom into this area and focus here.
01:16
As shown in the picture, the cytoskeleton consists of three proteins vital for its function, the microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments...
