The document discusses the parts of an animal cell and their functions. It aims to teach students to identify and draw the major organelles of an animal cell, including the nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, ribosomes, vesicles, and cytosol. Understanding the structure and role of each organelle is important for studying biology at a cellular level.
2. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the discussion, the students will be expected to:
i. Identify the different parts of an animal cell and know their
functions.
ii. Draw and label its parts after the discussion.
iii. Give the importance in knowing the different parts of an
animal cell.

division( mitosis)
18. an intracellular matrix that
supports cell shape and
function
The matrix is a dynamic
structure composed of three
main proteins
Has three components:
microfilaments
microtubules
intermediate filaments,
Actin filaments are in red,
microtubules are in green,
19. Microtubules- tiny cylindrical
elements of animal cells about 20 to 25
nm in diameter
composed of tubulins
function: provide rigidity and
shape in one area
Tracts for organelle movement within
the cell
Basis of ciliary and flagellar
movement
Microtubules in gel
fixated cell
20. Microfilaments-smaller than
microtubules ranging in
diameter from 4 to 7 nm
Solid helical rods composed of
actin
Function:providing motive
force for cell contraction
amoeboid movement, and
possibly intracellular transport
21. Protoplasm that surrounds
the nucleus
A semi-liquid substance that
composes the foundation of the cell
Within the cytoplasm are a number
of different organelles

Editor's Notes
Englisman hooke, reminded the monastery,cell
Contained many partitions of many cavities
The cell as the basic unit of life
Cells are the basic units of organisms
All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.
Unicellular organisms are made of one cell only
Protoplasm—used to describe the living substance of the cell, it compasses the whole array of organelles
Most living things can be divided into two. Do you know what they are?
To answer this question, look at these two pictures. Left is a picture of a plant cell and right is of an animal cell.
Nucleolar-certain chromosomes
Malfunction of nucleoli can be the cause of several human diseases
Nucleoli are made of proteins and RNA and form around specific chromosomal regions
functions like assembly of signal recognition particles playing a role in the cell's response to stress
Nuclear organizers- certain
Ince in a low power light of microscope, visible
Nuclear envelope has two memebrane
Good transmission electron microscope
Lipid- molecules that are assymetrical-electric charge hydrophilic. Uncharge hydrophobic
According to the fluid mosaic model of S. J. Singer and G. L. Nicolson (1972), which replaced the earlier model of Davson and Danielli, biological membranes can be considered as a two-dimensional liquid in which lipid and protein molecules diffuse more or less easily.[8] Although the lipid bilayers that form the basis of the membranes do indeed form two-dimensional liquids by themselves, the plasma membrane also contains a large quantity of proteins, which provide more structure. Examples of such structures are protein-protein complexes, pickets and fences formed by the actin-based cytoskeleton, and potentially lipid rafts.

A lysosome (derived from the Greek words lysis, meaning "to loosen", and soma, "body") is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in most animal cells (they are absent in red blood cells). Structurally and chemically, they are spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes capable of breaking down virtually all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris. They are known to contain more than 50 different enzymes, which are all optimally active at an acidic environment of about pH 4.5 (about the pH of black coffee). Thus lysosomes act as the waste disposal system of the cell by digesting unwanted materials in the cytoplasm, both from outside of the cell and obsolete components inside the cell. For this function they are popularly referred to as "suicide bags" or "suicide sacs" of the cell.[1][2] Furthermore, lysosomes are responsible for cellular homeostasis for their involvements in secretion, plasma membrane repair, cell signalling and energy metabolism, which are related to health and diseases
Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these.[3] The organelle has no basic shape or size; its structure varies according to the needs of the cell.
Active in the formation of cilia and are self duplicating organelles
Lacks centriole then it cannot undergo the process of cell division
9 evenly spaces
, which are capable of rapid assembly or disassembly dependent on the cell's requirements.[1
microfilaments (made of the protein actin) and microtubules (made of the protein tubulin) .[3][5] By contrast intermediate filaments, which have more than 60 different building block proteins, have been found so far only in animal cells (apart from one non-eukaryotic bacterial intermediate filament crescentin).
