    Components of a Cell and their Functions


    PARTS OF A CELL FUNCTIONS
    Cell membrane This helps in regulating the internal cell balance.
    Cell wall It helps provide mechanical support to the cell.
    Chloroplast They help in production of food by photosynthesis.
    Chromoplast They help give flowers and fruits their colour.
    Cytoplasm Metabolic activities take place here.
    Golgi bodies They store hormones and enzymes.
    Leukoplasts They help in the storage of starch.
    Lysosome It helps in intracellular digestion and elimination of foreign substances.
    Mitochondria ATP is generated here by cellular respiration.
    Nuclear membrane It has many pores that aid in the transport of substances.
    Nucleoulus It sends out the RNS to ribosomes.
    Nucleoplasm It contains the hereditary information of genes.
    Nucleus It controls all the functions occurring in the cell.
    Ribosomes They contain RNA that help in protein synthesis.
    Vacuole It contains fluids and helps in storage of substances.
    2. PROKARYOTE CELLS

     Capsule - Found in some bacterial cells, this additional outer covering


    protects the cell when it is engulfed by other organisms, assists in
    retaining moisture, and helps the cell adhere to surfaces and nutrients.
     Pili (Pilus singular)- Hair-like structures on the surface of the cell
    that attach to other bacterial cells. Shorter pili called fimbriae help
    bacteria attach to surfaces.
     Flagella - Flagella are long, whip-like protrusion that aids in cellular
    locomotion.
     Plasmids - Plasmids are gene carrying, circular DNA structures that
    are not involved in reproduction.

    I. A theory on the Origins of Eukaryotic Cells: Mitochondria and


    Chloroplasts

    There are a great many differences between Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells in
    size, complexity, internal compartments.
    However, there is a curious similarity between prokaryotic cells and the organelles of
    eukaryotic cells. Some of these similarities were first noted in the 1880s, but were
    largely ignored for almost a century!
