Cell Structure
The knowledge and concept about the structure of the cells have changed constantly over the past years. Primarily the scientist defines the cells as a simple membranous sac with fluids and some particles. Researches have now revealed that the cell is the more complex and basic unit of life. There are different types of cells and they also differ in shape and structure. The basic three parts of a cell are cell membrane, cytoplasm, and organelle.
Plant Cell
The smallest functional unit of a living organism is known as the cell. It is composed of cytoplasm enclosed by an outer layer known as the cell membrane. A cell is classified as a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell. A prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus, and the genetic material is freely suspended in the cell cytoplasm; for example, bacteria are composed of a prokaryotic cell. Whereas a eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus and membrane-bound cell organelles with a specific function, plants and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells.
Plant Cell Types
Plants are made up of a variety of cell types that include both living and dead cells. These cells provide them mechanical and structural support along with the growth of plants. Plant tissue is a group or collection of cells, which are similar in structure and work together to accomplish a specific function. Plant cells are most similar to animal cells, both being eukaryotic cells.
Label the parts of the animal cell.
![**Labeling. Label the parts of the model animal cell.**
In the image of the model animal cell, various parts are labeled with letters A to O. The diagram represents a detailed view of an animal cell's internal structure. Here's a breakdown of the labeled parts:
- **A**: Cell Membrane - the outer layer that protects the cell and regulates what enters and exits.
- **B**: Nucleus - the control center containing DNA.
- **C**: Nucleolus - located within the nucleus, responsible for ribosome production.
- **D**: Chromatin - composed of DNA and proteins, found inside the nucleus.
- **E**: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
- **F**: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - studded with ribosomes; key in protein synthesis.
- **G**: Golgi Apparatus - modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
- **H**: Lysosome - contains enzymes for digestion.
- **I**: Peroxisome - breaks down fatty acids and detoxifies harmful substances.
- **J**: Ribosomes - small structures involved in protein synthesis.
- **K**: Mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy.
- **L**: Centrioles - involved in cell division.
- **M**: Cytoplasm - the jelly-like fluid that holds organelles.
- **N**: Cytoskeleton - provides structure and support to the cell.
- **O**: Microvilli - increase surface area for absorption.
