- Animal Eukaryotic Cell Components: Structure And Function
I posted a picture of the eukaryotic animal cell earlier, but it was simply a labeled diagram. Here we will go into each of the major parts of the cell, as well as each organelle's function, not to mention the overall structure of the cell. As the...

KEY CONCEPTS:Yeast Ash1 mRNA forms a ribonucleoprotein that binds to a myosin motor. A motor transports it along actin filaments into the daughter bud. It is anchored and translated in the bud, so that the protein is found only in the bud. An mRNA is...

Actin
In this picture you can see the muscle contraction present when someone flexes his or her arm. Actin is the most abundant protein in Eukaryotes and it has many functions. Actin participates in many important cellular processes like muscle contraction, cell motility, cytokinesis, and etc.
