Animal Cell Diagram Explained

Labelled Diagram of Animal Cell

This Animal cell’s diagram shows following parts of the cell:

• Nucleus: This is the control center of the cell, and it contains the cell’s DNA. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
• Cytoplasm: This is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains all of the other organelles.
• Vacuole: This is a sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and waste products.
• Mitochondrion: These are the “powerhouses” of the cell, and they produce energy for the cell.
• Golgi complex: This organelle packages and distributes proteins and other molecules throughout the cell.
• Plasma membrane: This is the outer boundary of the cell, and it controls what enters and leaves the cell.
• Centrioles: These organelles help to organize the cell’s microtubules, which are important for cell division.
• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): This organelle is involved in protein synthesis and transport.
• Ribosomes: These are tiny structures that make proteins.
• Lysosomes: These organelles break down waste products and old cell parts.
• Peroxisomes: These organelles break down harmful molecules.
