What are 15 parts of a cell and how are they related?

Question

I am doing a project on a cell and how the parts in the cell are related to each other. So how do all the cell parts connect to help one another?

Answer 1

Parts of a typical cell:

Nucleus: Controls the fate of the cell, tells cell if it is to be part of the muscle or skin.

 

Mitochondria: Powerhouse of the cell, stores energy for various cellular functions.

 

Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER): Helps the cell in synthesizing lipids as well as  proteins and their packaging.

 

Golgi Apparatus:  Processes proteins generated at  ER by post-translational modifications.

 

Vacuoles: Large and empty sacs usually filled with water in animal cells, in plant cells they may contain nutrients and capture energy from the sun.

 

Vesicles: Small vacuoles that participate in carrying proteins from cell organelles or other cells.

 

Lysosomes: Vacuoles filled with enzymes to break the food.

 

Peroxisomes: Vacuoles filled with oxidizing enzymes to neutralize toxic substances.

 

Ribosomes: Synthesize  proteins from mRNA produced by cellular genomic DNA.

 

Centrioles: Align chromosomes on spindle during cell-division

 

Cell membrane: Protection of Cellular integrity.  

 

Villi: Increase the surface area of the cell.

 

Cilia: Help in transport of cellular surface

 

Microtubules: Involved in division of cellular DNA and cytoplasm.

 

Nucleolus: Produce ribosomes.

 

This is very basic, hope it helps.

 

Answer 2

If you don't have a diagram of a cell to work from, you can google "cell diagrm" and find images that illustrate and list the parts of a cell.

 

Each member doing its part is for the benefit of all. So you need to identify each member and describe it's function. What does it do? What does it produce? Then you will be able to see how those functions or products may be useful to the other members.
