What Is The Nucleus?
Specialized structure occurring in most cells (except bacteria) and separated from the rest of the cell by the nuclear membrane. The nucleus controls and regulates the cell’s activities (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes. What Is Cytoplasm? The material within a biological cell that is not contained in the nucleus or other organelles. Brown Fat: Brown fat on the other hand is found most often in newborn babies and is located between the shoulder blades. This fat’s purpose is to generate heat to keep them warm. Its cells are smaller and contain a great deal of mitochondria and thus are more metabolically active. They also contain numerous small fat droplets as opposed to one large one seen in the white cells. What Are Mitochondria? Mitochonidria: The spherical or elongated organelles in the cytoplasm of nearly all eukaryotic cells, containing genetic material and many enzymes important for cell metabolism, including those responsible for the conversion of food to usable
