To introduce
the topic

Cells are the smallest living

structural and functional
units of the body that are
enclosed b a membrane. All
cells arise from the existing
cells by the process of cell
division in which the parent
cell divides into two

various parts of a cell and
their relationships to each
other helps to understand
that the cell structure and
the functions are closely
related.

external environment. It is
a selective barrier that
regulates the flow of
materials into and out of
the cell. This selectivity
helps to maintain the
appropriate environment
for normal cellular
activities. The plasma
membrane also plays a key
role in communication
The cytoplasm: It
contains all the cellular
content between the
plasma membrane and the
nucleus. This compartment
has two components:
Cytosol and organelles

To describe
the
structure of
various cell
organelles

nucleus are the

chromosomes, each of
which consist of a single
molecule of DNA associated
with several proteins. A
chromosome consists of
thousands of hereditary
units called genes that
control most aspects of
cellular structure and
function.
The various organelles of a
cell along with their
description are as follows:
MITOCHONDRIA:
Mitochondria are
sometimes described as
the powerhouse of the
cell.
They are responsible for
synthesizing chemical
energy in the cell in the
form of ATP which
releases energy when
the cell breaks it down.
RIBOSOMES: Ribosomes
are tiny granules that
are responsible for the
synthesis of

ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM: They are of
two types viz smooth
endoplasmic reticulum
and rough endoplasmic
reticulum
The smooth
endoplasmic reticulum
helps in the synthesis of
lipids and steroid
hormones
Rough endoplasmic
reticulum is studded
with ribosomes where
they manufacture
protein
LYSOSOMES: Lysosomes
are one kind of secretory
vescicles involved in
breaking down the
molecules inside the cell
that are either recycled
or extruded by the cells.
