Summary Introduction

To determine: The things required for a cell to make it large.

Introduction: The discovery of the cell was given by the Dutch scientist called Robert Hooke in 1665. Another Dutch microbiologist, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, was observed living cells which termed ‘animalcules.’

Explanation of Solution

A cell is the smallest part that can be visible only under the microscope. A structure of a cell consists of four major features that are common in all cell types, such as a nucleoid or nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. A nucleoid or nucleus contains the genetic information of an individual.

In a eukaryotic cell, the nucleus is covered by a membrane called the nuclear envelope. The DNA is carrying the genes that code for the protein synthesis by the cell. The cytoplasm is a semifluid matrix that presents inside the cell and contains sugars, amino acids, and proteins.

These molecules carry daily activities. A cell is consisting of a plasma membrane that is responsible for separating its content from its environment. The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid membrane. The ribosomes are present in prokaryotic cells that carry out protein synthesis. All this content is to make the cell larger because the cell is responsible for carrying all the body functions.

MAIN IDEA: Eukaryotic cells have an extensive and dynamic framework called a cyto- skeleton. The cytoskeleton is used for cell shape, internal structure, movement, and cell division. Many cells are surrounded by and supported by a complex extracellular matrix and are able to interact with adjacent cells and the environment via cell junctions. 5. List three common components of microtubules and microfilaments.
