hi guys!


what types of cells is a mammalian cell? i know this is maybe a "horrible" question, but i find it hard knowing the different cells under this category cell. i have looked in the net, but don't find any site where they explain about this type of cell.

so hope for some ideas.

thanks!

There 3 type of cells: archea, bacteria, eukaryotes.

Mammaliam cell are eukaryote. Eukaryotes have strucually define organization within the cells. In other words, eukarytoes have nucleus and organelles. Bacteria and archea do not have visible organization structure.

hi Ian!

then why an insect cell is not a mammalian cell? :confused:

Both insect and mammalian cells are eukaryotes but the differences lies in the DNA rather than the structure.
