This document discusses cell structure and function. It begins by outlining the learning objectives and outcomes, which include describing the structure and function of organelles like the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. It then provides details on the parts of a cell, including the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and various organelles. Examples are given for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types. Key organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and lysosomes are explained in terms of their structures and roles in cellular processes.

13. PARTS OF A CELL
For ease of study, we divide the cell into three main parts: plasma membrane,
cytoplasm, and nucleus.
1. The plasma membrane forms the cell’s flexible outer surface,
separating the cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from the
external environment (outside the cell). It is a selective barrier that
regulates the flow of materials into and out of a cell. This
selectivity helps establish and maintain the appropriate
environment for normal cellular activities. The plasma membrane
also plays a key role in communication among cells and between
cells and their external environment.

14. 2. The cytoplasm (plasm- formed or molded) consists of all the cellular
contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus.
This compartment has two components: cytosol and organelles.
Cytosol the fluid portion of cytoplasm, contains water, dissolved
solutes, and suspended particles. Surrounded by cytosol are several
different types of organelles (little organs).
Each type of organelle has a characteristic shape and specific functions.
Examples include the cytoskeleton, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum,
Golgi complex, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.
3/13/2023 UNIT-01 14
15. 3. The nucleus (nut kernel) is a large organelle that
houses most of a cell’s DNA. Within the nucleus,
each chromosome (chromo-colored), a single
molecule of DNA associated with several proteins,
contains thousands of hereditary units called genes
that control most aspects of cellular structure and
function.
