What specialized organelle would you expect to find in a cheek cell?

Answer 1

Ribosomes are the most numerous organelles in a standard cheek cell. They are found throughout the cell, and also in other organelles.

I'm fairly certain it is the ribosome as well. Ribosomes cover the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope. Many ribosomes float around in the cytosol, also. It is a toss up between ribosomes and mitochondria, simply because my Biology text book mentioned that some cells may have thousands of mitochondria. I do, however, believe ribosomes are the most common in cells.

Actually i think the answer is lysosomes, since the mouth is constantly breaking down the food we eat, the lysosome produces enzymes to aid in that process.

I am currently in biology class and have this question and my professor said he would give us a hint that it wasn't lysosomes. Then we got into a discussion about it, and it is indeed ribosomes. Ribosomes are located of the rough enoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope like stated above, but are also located all over the body.

Answer 2

In cheeks we have salivary gland which are also beneath our tongue and they continuously produce saliva in our mouth to keep it wet and they help us in swallowing our food and softening it for digestion.

Answer 3

In a cheek cell, some of the organelles are: nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane.

Answer 4

The function organelle of a cheek cell is the nucleus. The main function of a cheek cell is to reproduce.

Answer 5

Each cell of any body part is made up of organelles. So there is no specialized organelle for the cheek cell.

Answer 6

It is the nucleus. Because while observing the cheek cell the organelles are not clearly visible. Only nucleus can be seen properly.

Answer 7

Ribosomes
