CELL
Parts
Functions
Cell
Membrane
The
outermost
covering
of
a
cell,
lipid
bilayer
containing
intrinsic
proteins
and
with
and
external
coat
of
carbohydrate.
The
cell
membrane
acts
like
a
traffic
police
man,
that
regulates
entry
and
exit
of
substances,
that
is,
ions
and
solutes.
This
helps
in
regulating
the
internal
cell
balance.
Centrioles
A
barrel
shape
cell
structure.
The
centrioles
are
a
part
of
the
animal
cell.
An
animal
cell
may
contain
one
or
two
centrioles
that
help
in
mitosis.
Cytoplasm
The
mixture
of
water
and
soluble
organic
and
inorganic
compounds
is
called
the
cytoplasm.
Most
of
the
parts
of
a
cell
are
suspended
in
the
cytoplasm.
All
the
metabolic
functions
and
activities
of
an
animal
cell
takes
place
here.

on
Reticulum
The
tubular
structures
that
are
found
near
the
nucleus
and
help
provide
support
to
both
plant
and
animal
cells
are
called
the
endoplasmic
reticulum.
There
are
two
types
of
endoplasmic
reticulum,
the
smooth
reticulum
without
the
attached
ribosomes
and
rough
endoplasmic
reticulum
with
the
attached
ribosomes.
Golgi
Bodies
The
golgi
apparatus
or
bodies
are
flat
vesicular
structures
that
are
stacked
one
above
the
other.
They
secrete
and
store
hormones
and
enzymes
that
help
in
transportation
out
of
the
cell.
Lysosome
This
part
of
an
animal
cell
that
is
a
membranous
sac.
It
is
part
of
the
golgi
apparatus
that
contains
different
enzymes.
It
helps
in
intracellular
digestion
and
in
the
elimination
of
foreign
substances.
They
are
also
known
as
the
'suicide
sacs'
as,
if
one
of
them
bursts,
the
entire
cell
will
be
destroyed.
Mitochondria
The
mitochondria
has
two
layers
of
membrane
of
which
the
inner
membrane
is
folded
to
form
cristae.
It
is
the
powerhouse
of
the
cell
where
ATP
is
generated
by
cellular
respiration.
Nuclear
Membrane
The
covering
of
the
nucleus
is
the
nuclear
membrane.
It
has
many
pores
that
aid
in
the
transport
of
substances.
Nucleolus
Dense
non
‐
membrane
‐
bound
structure
in
nucleus.
The
nucleolus
contains
the
RNA
and
sends
out
the
RNS
to
ribosomes
along
with
the
blueprints
of
the
protein
to
be
synthesized.
Nucleoplasm
The
dense
fluid
that
contains
chromatin
fibres
made
up
of
DNA
is
called
nucleoplasm.
The
chromatin
fibers
undergo
a
change
in
structure
after
cell
division
and
are
called
chromosomes.
This
chromosome
contains
the
hereditary
information
of
genes.
