What is a cell? Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms. Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell. Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular, or have many cells—an estimated 100,000,000,000,000 cells!
Nucleus Functions:- Large oval body near the center of the wall. The control center for all activities. Surrounded by a Nuclear Membrane.
Cell Membrane Functions:- The outer boundary of a cell. It separates the cells from other cells. It is porous which allows molecules to pass through.
Mitochondria Functions:- Power house of the cell. Center of respiration of the cell. They release energy for cell function.
Ribosomes Functions:- Tiny spherical bodies that help make proteins. Found in the cyto plasm or attached to the endo plasmic reticulum.
Lisosome Functions:- Small structures that contain enzymes which are used in digestion. If a lysosome were to burst it could destroy the cell.
Golgi Functions:- Tube like structures that have tiny sacs at their ends. They help package protein.
Endoplasmic Reticulum Functions:- Systems of membranes throughout the cyto plasm . It connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. Passageway for material moving though the cell.
