2. Cell Facts
 There are 2 types of primary cells, animal cells and plant
cells.
 Cells are too small to be seen without magnification.
 Cells are 1 to 100 micrometers
 Scientists believe Single-celled organisms were the
earliest forms of life on earth. Single celled organisms are
called Prokaryotic.
 There are more bacterial cells in the body than human
cells.
 Cells commit suicide. When they get infected or damaged,
it will self destruct.
 Cells have varying life spans.

6. Nucleus
• Nucleus is the brain of the plant cell and the most important of
all plant cell parts.

7. Plastids
• Plastids are those plant cells which carry pigments.

8. Ribosome
• These are the parts that mainly contain RNA[ribonucleic acids].
Ribosomes are those parts that are responsible for production of
proteins in plants.

9. Mitochondria
• The mitochondria is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates
and sugars.

10. Golgi Body
• The Golgi Body is used to transport material inside and outside
the cell.

11. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a system of convulsed
sacs, which are in turn interconnected.

12. Vacuoles
• Vacuoles are the storage area. They hold the water for the
plant.

13. Peroxisomes
• Peroxisomes contain certain parts that are responsible for breaking
such fatty acids into simpler forms. They help chloroplasts in the
process of photosynthesis.

14. Cell wall
• The cell wall protects and supports the cell.

15. Cell membrane
• The cell membrane covers and gives the cell it’s shape. It
allows materials to come in and out of the cell.

16. Cytoplasm
• Cytoplasm is the gel like liquid that holds in all the organisms.

17. Amyloplast
• They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch
granules.

18. Centrosome
• An organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains the
centrioles.

19. Nucleolus
• A small structure in the nucleus of a cell.

20. Nuclear membrane
• Separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm of the cell. It is
similar to the cell membrane.

21. Golgi Apparatus
• It is made up of folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most
singled cells.

22. Lysosome
• An organelle in the cytoplasm of singled cells containing
degradative(The reduction of a chemical compound to a less complex
compound) enzymes (substance produced by a living organism)
enclosed in a membrane.
