All cells are composed of a living substance called protoplasm. It is
where all the chemical activities of the cell take place. The protoplasm of a
cell is divided into three distinct parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm and
nucleus. The different parts of the protoplasm carry specific functions that
are interdependent on each other. Below is the summary of the parts and
function of a cell:
PART DEFINITION and FUNCTION PRESENT IN:
A. CELL a.k.a Plasma membrane or
MEMBRANE Plasmalemma, a doubled layer
membrane that encloses the cell. It
Both (in Plant
serves as the boundary between the
Cell and
cell and its external environment. It
Animal Cell)
also controls the movement of
substances into and out of the cell due
to its semi permeable membrane.
A.1 Cell Wall an additional boundary surrounding the
cells of plants. It is made up of
Plant cell only
cellulose, which supports the cell and
protects it from injury
B. controls all the activities of the cell and
NUCLEUS/NUC considered as the brain of the cell
LEI
B.1 Nuclear
covering of the nucleus
Membrane Both
B.2 Nucleoplasm semi-fluid medium
B.3 Nucleolus central part of the nucleus and bearers
of hereditary traits. It disappears
during cell division
C. CYTOPLASM largest part of the cell where most of
Both
the life processes occur.
C.1 Mitochondria small, double-membrane, spherical or Both
sausage-shaped organelles involved in
the production of energy. It is popularly
known as the powerhouse of the cell.
The energy produced by the
mitochondria is important for the vital
activities of the cell, such as growth
and reproduction. Cells that need more
energy, like muscle cells, contain more
mitochondria.
C.2 Ribosomes small granular structures made up of
RNA and proteins. This RNA is
produced in the nucleus and enters the Both
cytoplasm through the pores of the
nucleus. It helps to produce proteins.
