EXERCISE NO. 3
CELLULAR STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS

GIO: To learn the different parts of the cell and its functions

SIO
1. Draw and label the important parts of a hypothetical cell.

2. Enumerate the 2 major classes of cells

1. PROKARYOTIC
2. EUKARYO
 3. Discuss the structure of the cell membrane and enumerate its
functions.

The cell membrane is double phospholipid primarily embedded or composed of mixed

proteins and lipids. It is also a "trilaminar" (3 layers)
 The plasma membrane surrounds all cells and physically separates the
cytoplasm, which is the material that makes up the cell, from the extracellular
fluid outside the cell. This protects all the components of the cell from the outside
environment and allows separate activities to occur inside and outside the cell.
 Cell membrane holds the semi-fluid protoplasmic contents of the cell intact, thus
keeping the individuality of the cell.
 A selective permeability membrane allows only selected or specific substances to
enter the cell and are impermeable to others

4. Classify the formed elements of the cytoplasm and give their

functions.

It is the colloidal part of the cell which contains

 Organelles, the living structures found within the cytoplasm. It carries out
functions necessary to maintain homeostasis in the cell.
 Inclusions, these are temporary residence/non-living structures within the
cytoplasm. This stores the secretary products, nutrients, and pigment granules in
the cytoplasm.
 Cytoskeleton, the support of cytoplasm that provides mechanical support that
enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement. Which
basically prevent the collapse of cytoplasm.

5. Discuss the nucleus and explain its immense functions.

 Nucleus contains the DNA that is the form of heterochromatin (inactive) and euchromatin
(active).
 The control center of the cell.
 It controls cell growth and multiplication. This involves regulating gene expression,
initiating cellular reproduction, and storing genetic material necessary for all of these
tasks. In order for a nucleus to carry out important reproductive roles and other cell
activities, it needs proteins and ribosomes.
 Chromatin - genetic material inside nucleoplasm
 Nucleolus - site of ribosome formation
