AI Thread Summary
Mammalian cells are classified as eukaryotic cells, which are characterized by their structured organization, including a defined nucleus and organelles. This contrasts with prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria and archaea, which lack such organization. While both insect and mammalian cells fall under the eukaryotic category, the distinction between them lies in their DNA composition rather than structural differences. Understanding these classifications helps clarify the diversity within cell types.

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!

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.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
