A cell consists of various diffenrent organelles which include; mitochondiran, ribosomes, cell membranes, nucleolus, nucleus, nuclear envelope, golgi aparatus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, centrosomes, cell wall, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, nuclear pore, cilia, flagella and microtubules.
Mitochondrian: These are 0.5 to 10 micrometers structures which consist of a matrix and a membrane. These create energy in the form of ATP.
Choloroplast: These are 3 to 10 micrometers and are found in plant cells and create glucose via photosynthesis. The ultra-violet light is taken in which stimulates a reaction to take place:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----Ultraviolet Light---> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Nucleus: This contains the cells genetic code or the DNA. It is 6 micrometers in diameter. Its function is to control the cell by creating copies of itslef using tRNA and mRNA and sending this as an "Order".
Nucleolus: This is where ribsomes are made for protein synthesis. It is found within the nucleus of a cell. They are generally 25% the size of the nucleus.
Cell Surface Membrane: This contains phospholipids which create a phosphlipid bilayer. It also consists channel proteins, glycoproteins, carrier proteins, glycolipids and cholesterol.
