Essay On Cell Theory

According to the cell theory, the cell is the smallest form of life but there are many parts of a cell which allow the cell to do the job it is assigned correctly. An example of a cell would be the animal cell, which is a eukaryotic cell or a cell that contains a plasma membrane. Inside the membrane there are parts of the cell called the organelles. (Animal Cell Structure, 2005) Organelles inside the cell have specific jobs to perform for the cell, organelles include the ribosomes, vacuoles, centrioles, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cilia, flagella, mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition there are also three main components to any cell. These include the cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus.
The most common fluid inside the cell is the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is contained inside the cell membrane and it surrounds all of the organelles. It is a thick solution and it is inside every single cell. Usually the cytoplasm has a majority of water, salts and proteins. The part of the cytoplasm that do not contain organelles is called the cytosol. The cytoplasm may appear to …show more content…
These parts are called organelles and every animal cell contains them, like how every living thing contains cells. The nucleus is the main control point of the cell which commands all organelles. The cell membrane is the guard of the cell which is selectively permeable. The cytoplasm surrounds all organelles in the cell and in combination with the cell membrane, provide the cell the structure. The mitochondria provide the cell with power while the vacuoles stores nutrients for the cell. There are more organelles such as the ribosomes, lysosomes, centrioles, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes and the cilia and flagella that all do certain jobs for the cell and require the cell to function. These parts or organelles may not be living, but they are still important for every living
