Biological cell[edit]

Diagram of a typical animal cell. Explanations in the picture's page.
For comparison, animal cell by LadyofHats (not currently a candidate.)
Reason
Very encyclopedic image, in high quality, that has great explanations in its page.
Articles this image appears in
Biology, Cell (biology), Cytoplasm, Cell nucleus, Lysosome, Nucleolus, Organelle, and a lot more.

  • Support supposing it's proper. So, who wants to image map it? :O --gren グレン 22:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose, it's enc ok, but LadyofHats sets the standard here in terms of mcb svg's, and this one is nowhere close. Also, the circles around the numbers are generally considered distracting. ~ trialsanderrors 22:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strange, they dont distract me,
  • support for being encyclopedic --User:Ahadland1234 23:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I think this looks better than LadyOfHats' but it has less information. It's definitely a good image... but, I think it needs to be decided in terms of which image will actually be in the article. I like the circled numbers especially with imagemapping. and the transparency beats Lady's... --gren グレン 03:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, it looks like one of those Powerpoint cliparts to me. The way the Centriole (13) is rendered is completely out of sync with the rest of the picture. The Cytoskeleton (7) is a single scraggly line? And finally, is there a reason why there is no Flagellum? ~ trialsanderrors 03:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Probably because most animal cells (that we'd think of as belonging to animals) don't have flagella, rather they're best known for being attached to single-celled animals. The flagellum mostly helps the single-celled animal move around, although larger animals have them on some cells. —Pengo 13:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • support Per above 8thstar 23:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • strong oppose very poor graphics, perspective of different organelles does not match, difference between lysosomes and vacuoles (actually typical for plant cells, not animal cells) is not clear. Lycaon 10:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whether or not they're common, vacuoles do exist in animal cells. Lysosomes, vesicles, peroxisomes, and vacuoles generally look similar on these types of diagrams anyway.Primeromundo 02:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Opppose after seeing some similar drawings in textbooks which blow this out of the water. —Pengo 23:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
