Parts of A Cell: Key Question: What Are Some of The Structures Found in Animal Cells?

The document summarizes some of the key structures found in animal cells. It identifies the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and vacuoles as major structures common to all cells. The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell. The cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid inside the cell where organelles are found. The nucleus controls all cell processes. Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and wastes inside the cell.

Parts of a Cell

Key Question:
What are some of the structures
found in animal cells?
Learning Goals
• Identify some of the
structures of animal cells,
• Identify the function of some
animal cell structures.
Basic Information
The cell is the smallest unit of living material
having major structures within it allowing it to
live.

Some kinds of organisms are just one cell.


This single cell is the organism’s entire body.

Many organisms are made of more than one cell.


Parts of a Cell
Cells vary in size, but all cells contain these
major structures:
øCell Membrane – The soft, flexible covering of a cell that controls
what comes in and out of a cell.

øCytoplasm – The gel-like fluid that fills most of a cell. The other
organelles are found in the cytoplasm.

øNucleus – A small structure that controls everything the cell does.

øVacuole(s) – Storage spaces in the cell. They hold water and other
nutrients that the cell needs. They can store wastes until the cell can get
rid of it.
