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.
