Under the microscope, an animal cell shows many different parts called
organelles, that work together to keep the cell functional.

Organizing microtubules and thus providing cell shape
3) Lysosomes
Functions
Functions
Protecting the integrity of the cell from the outside environment
Allowing selective entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell
Functions
6) Golgi Apparatus
Functions
They are a network of rod-shaped proteins called actin that forms a part
of the cell cytoskeleton. Microfilaments are the thinnest of all the
cytoskeletal filaments, having a diameter of about 6-7 nm.
Functions
8) Microtubules
They are hollow tubes composed of the protein tubulin. They are the
largest of all cytoskeletal filaments, measuring about 24 nm in thickness.

14) Cytoplasm
They are the colorless, semifluid substance of a cell that covers the
entire space except the area enclosed by cell organelles. The cytoplasm
is composed of about 80% water and the rest are organic and inorganic
compounds.
Functions
They are fine, hair-like projections that extend from the body of many
cells and are made of microtubules. Cilia and flagella vary in terms of
length and numbers based on the types and functions of the cell.
Functions
2) Muscle Cells: Present below the skin cell, they help in body
movement. Muscle cells are of three types – skeletal muscle cells,
cardiac muscle cells, and smooth muscle cells.
3) Blood Cells: Found mainly in the blood, they can be divided into two
types – red blood cell (RBCs) and white blood cell (WBCs).
4) Nerve Cells: Basic units of the nervous system. They receive, carry,
and deliver signals throughout the body.
FAQs
Q1. What do animal cells have that plant cells do not?
Ans. Animal cells have centrioles, centrosomes, and lysosomes while plant
cells do not have any of them.
Q2. Why lysosomes are called the suicidal bags of the cell?
Ans. Sometimes, the digestive enzymes present in the lysosomes end up
damaging the lysosome itself, and this can ultimately cause the
destruction of the cell (autolysis). Hence, lysosomes are also called the
suicidal bags of the cell.
