The Wonderful Cell

The cell is extraordinary.

The cell is immensely complex, the instructions within the DNA of the cell is extraordinarily infinite.

Cell via Wikipedia

The number the cells in our organism is extremely large in number, each cell is  admirable with trillions atoms and molecules, each cell is appeared like a city, power plants generate energy, factories produce proteins, complex transportation systems guide specific chemical from point to point within the cell, biological armies stand ready to struggle with invaders, a centralized genetic government maintains order.

A typical cell is composed of: Cell Membrane, Ribosomes, Nucleus, Chromosomes, Nucleolus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Mitochondria, Golgi Body, Centrioles.

Cell Membrane

The covering that controls what enters and leaves the cells is composed of a double layer.

Ribosomes

Structures on which amino acid are assembled into proteins.

Nucleus

Enclosed in a double membrane envelope, it is the control center that directs the activities of the cell.

Chromosomes

They contain the DNA, its genetic master plan.

DNA via Wikipedia

Nucleolus

The site where ribosomes are assembled.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Sheets of membranes that store or transport the proteins made by the ribosomes attached to them, some ribosomes float free in the cell.

Mitochondria

Production centers for ATP, the molecules that supply energy for the cell.

Golgi Body

A group of flattened membrane sacs that package and distribute proteins made by the cell.

Centrioles

They lie near the nucleus and are important in cell reproduction.

The cell is a living structure extraordinary, is extremely complex composed of many interrelated parts that cause existence of all living organism.
