Explain The Main Components And Features Of A Cell To The Cell Function
Biology – Assignment One Cells.
Question One
Explain the roles of the main components and features of a cell to the cell function.
A typical animal cell is rounded in shape, surrounded by a cell membrane. This holds in the cytoplasm, which contains other structures such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria.
Each cell has tiny structures inside called organelles; each type of organelle performs a particular function. For example there are mitochondria (power stations), ribosomes (protein packaging factories) and lysosomes (waste disposal stations)
The largest structure in the cell in the nucleus; it contains the nucleolus together with chromatin which condenses into chromosomes when the cell undergoes division. It usually lies towards …show more content…
Without this structure our bodies would collapse. The bones protect the internal organs of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems as well as the fragile body tissues. The respiratory system benefits from bone marrow which produces red blood cells for the body.
The skeletal system provides a bone structure for the muscles to attach to which allows the body to move. When muscles are stimulated by the nervous system, they contract, moving the bones they are attached to. There are also involuntary muscles that keep our hearts pumping and our lungs breathing.
The circulatory system delivers oxygen from the respiratory system as well as delivering the nutrients from the digestive system and the hormones from the endocrine system around the body to where they are required.
The reproductive system works with the endocrine and circulatory systems in the release and delivery of hormones required to reproduce. The endocrine system releases the hormones which are carried around the body in the blood.
The circulatory, urinary and digestive systems work together to eliminate waste that the body doesn’t need. The circulatory system pumps the blood around the body which picks up waste and toxins from the digestive system. The kidneys then filter the blood to remove the liquid
