,The structure and function of a eucaryotic cell
- a living organism, microscopic
- it is the smallest unit we have got before then formatting and making
tissues
-have different types of tissues
A cell may be defined as the “basic, living, structural and functional
unit of the body and all other organisms (Cressy, 2010)
“Every protein in the body has its place in time and space. The human
body consists of trillions of cells. Each cell contains proteins organised
to maintain its structure and function (The Human Cell, 2016).

, The bustling activity of the human cell is maintained as proteins
perform specific tasks in designated compartments called Organelles
(The Human Cell, 2016).
The plasma membrane encloses the cell by creating a physical barrier.
It separates the cytosol and organelles of the cell from the surrounding
environment. This is the cell-to-cell interaction and communication site
and anchors the cell to its surroundings (The Human Cell, 2016).
The organelles are embedded in the cytosol, a semifluid substance
containing proteins, ions, and metabolites. This is the site of several
cellular processes, including protein synthesis, inter-organelle
transport, and various metabolic reactions (The Human Cell, 2016).
A multitude of mitochondria are responsible for producing cellular
energy (ATP). However, they also participate in many other functions,
such as signalling cell F and cellular differentiation (The Human
Cell, 2016).
The cell has three types of cytoskeletons: microtubules, actin filaments
and intermediate filaments. These structures are crucial for
maintaining cellular structure and architecture. In addition to
providing stability to the cell, the cytoskeleton also acts as a transport
network for organelles, controls motility and cell division, and forms
the mitotic spindle (The Human Cell, 2016).
Our genetic information encoded by the DNA is in the nucleus,
shielded from the cytoplasm by the nuclear membrane. Substructures
in the nucleus perform many functions, including DNA repair,
replication, and transcription to RNA, which is followed by RNA
splicing (The Human Cell, 2016).
Inside the nucleus, we find the nucleoli. They are sites of ribosome
synthesis, processing and assembling. Nucleolus proteins are also
involved in cell cycle regulation and cell stress responses (The Human
Cell, 2016).
