If I was comparing the centrioles in an animal cell with a prison, what part of the prison would they be?

That is a weird analogy.  Centrioles are part of the centrosome.  The centrosome is the part of the cell that microtubules (protein tubes) are organized from during cell division.  The microtubules attach to the chromosomes as "spindle fibers" or the "spindle apparatus" and are used to help reel half of the chromosomes to each side of the cell.  If the chromosomes  were "the prisioners" then the 2 centrosomes would be the guards that hold the "chains" (microtubules) and pulls each half of the prisoners towards them when the prison splits in half.

A Factory:\n\n*  The Nucleus is a filing cabinet\n*  The DNA in the nucleus is the documents in the filing cabinet\n*  The Mitochondria are the workers\n*  The cytosol is the components of what is being made around the factory.\n*  RNA is the photocopier that copies the documents from the filing cabinets.\n*  The ER is the workbench\n\nI'm sure there are other similarities, but I'm getting bored now\n*

The central vacuole in plant cells is enclosed by a membrane termed the tonoplast, an important and highly integrated component of the plant internal membrane network (endomembrane) system. This large vacuole slowly develops as the cell matures by fusion of smaller vacuoles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Mitosis, also called karyokinesis, is division of the nucleus and its chromosomes.  It is followed by division of the cytoplasm known as cytokinesis.  Both mitosis and cytokinesis are parts of the life of a cell called the Cell Cycle.  Most of the life of a cell is spent in a non-dividing phase called Interphase.  Interphase includes G1 stage in which the newly divided cells grow in size, S stage in which the number of chromosomes is doubled and appear as chromatin, and G2 stage where the cell makes the enzymes & other cellular materials needed for mitosis.\n\nMitosis has 4 major stages --- Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. When a living organism needs new cells to repair damage, grow, or just maintain its condition, cells undergo mitosis.\n\nDuring Prophase, the DNA and proteins start to condense. The two centrioles move toward the opposite end of the cell in animals or microtubules are assembled in plants to form a spindle. The nuclear envelope and nucleolus also start to break up.\n\n\nProphase\n\nDuring Metaphase, the spindle apparatus attaches to sister chromatids of each chromosome. All the chromosomes are line up at the equator of the spindle. They are now in their most tightly condensed form.\n\n\nMetaphase\n\nDuring Anaphase, the spindle fibers attached to the two sister chromatids of each chromosome contract and separate chromosomes which move to opposite poles of the cell.\n\n\nAnaphase\nIn Telophase, as the 2 new cells pinch in half (animal cells) or a cell plate forms (plant cells), the chromosomes become less condensed again and reappear as chromatin. New membrane forms nuclear envelopes and the nucleolus is reformed.

plant cells form a disk during the final splitting phase, while animal membranes constrict.  Also, it is easier to see earlier in animals, and animals have centrioles, plants dont.  thats all my textbook says.  the phases and everything are the same, though.

The most obvious (or unobvious) is the centriole found in some nuclei.\n\nMany cells also have ribosomes and vesicles which might be hard to see except under the highest powers.\n\nThe Golgi are also exceedingly small and difficult to see.

Mitosis is the formation of identical daughter cells, it has nothing to do with the interacting of "two" cells.  Plant cells have a different pinching off process when the one cell becomes two because of the cell walls.  Also animal cells have a structure called centrioles that does something in mitosis but I do NOT remember what it does...

(for animal cells..)\n1. non-kinetochore microtubules lengthen. this elongates the cell even more than before.\n2. pairs of sister chromosomes attach at opposite ends of the cell.\n3. new nuclear envelopes form around the two sets of dna at the opposite ends of the cell.\n4. cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) occurs and the plasma membrane re-forms around the two daughter cells.

Mitosis\n\nThe beginning of mitosis is called prophase. In early prophase, the centrosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell, organizing the spindle microtubules between them. The sister chromatids become visible in the nucleus as they condense. \n\nIn late prophase, the nuclear membrane breaks down and some of the spindle microtubules attach to the sister chromatids. The microtubules pull the chromatid pairs to the midline of the cell, or metaphase plate.\n\n•••\n\nThe chromatids remain lined up between the poles of the cell during metaphase.\n\n•••\n\nAnaphase begins when the pairs of sister chromatids separate. The separated chromatids are now called chromosomes, and move toward the poles of the cell.\n\n•••\n\nThe chromosomes arrive at the poles in telophase, and new nuclear membranes form around them.\n\n•••\n\nDivision of the cytoplasmic components is called cytokinesis. \n\nIn animal cells, cytokinesis occurs when a ring of actin and myosin filaments constricts the plasma membrane at the equator. Eventually, the parent cell is divided into two cells.\n\nAnimal Cytokinesis Movie (500K)\n\n\n\nIn plant cells, a number of small vesicles fuse at the metaphase plate to form the cell plate. Over time, the cell plate reaches across the cell and joins with the plasma membrane.\n\n•••\n\nThe process of mitosis and cytokinesis creates two separate cells, each with an identical set of chromosomes. After cytokinesis, the daughter cells will enter interphase.
