CELL COMPONENTS

• The cell structure is composed of these components:

  1. Cell Wall
  2. Cell Membrane
  3. Cytoplasm
  4. Nucleus
  5. Cell Organelles
• It is the outer covering of all cell that supports and protects the cell by controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cells.

  Cell Membrane
• Cell/Plasma membrane is also called...

  Differentially Permeable Membrane
• It is a rigid and stiff structure surrounding the cell membrane, that provides shape and support to the cell and protects from mechanical shocks and injuries.

  Cell Wall
• It is a thick, clear, jelly-like substance present inside the cell membrane, in which all of the organelles in eukaryotic cells are located; it is where almost all processes happen.

  Cytoplasm
• It is the fluid that fills the inside of the cell membrane; a part of cytoplasm; and is also referred to as "soup," home of the cytoskeleton and contains dissolved nutrients.

  Cytosol
• It is known as the control center of the cells as it contains the material called gene (made up of DNA) which controls all activities of the cell and its characteristics.

  Nucleus
• It is the brain of the cell and contains the hereditary material of the cell (DNA), that sends signals to the cell to grow, mature, divide, and die.

  Nucleus
• These are microscopic hair-like structures involved in the locomotion of a cell. Its main function is to assist the cell in movement.
