Description/Meaning
A description of the word cell

a microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed
by a semipermeable membrane and found in plants and animals

About Cells
Cells are extremely small living things that can only be seen under a
microscope. Cells are made up of organelles and some cells can be bad but
others good. Cells reproduce themselves and they are found in living things.
In human bodies, its estimated that there are 200 different types of cells and
that there is no such thing as a typical cell. All cells have a cell membrane
that allows fluids to come in and lets product wastes to go out. But only small
things can do this. Cells also have a nuclear and this is known as the power
station of the cell and it organelles. The other important cell that we have is
called a mitochondrion, its know as the energy station because it holds the
food and oxygen for the cell. Each cell has its own size and own shape that
helps it do its job.
How Do Cells Help Us
Without cells wed most likely not be here. This is because all of our blood is
made up with cells, your skin is made up of cells, actually everything in your
body is made up of cells. There are some living things that are made up of
one cell and these are called unicellular organisms. Many other living things
are made of multiple cells and these are called multicellular organisms.

So how do cells help us?
They help keep us alive but then some (virus cells) can make us die due to the
organelles they are built up from. So in conclusion to the question of how do
cells help us theyre apart of our everyday lives meaning that they should be
everything we are and we should take care of our bodies so that we can keep
the good cells in/with us.
Functions Of A Cell
An example of a function of a cell is an animal cell. They have a function in
which they do many activities with the help of their various cell organelles.
The cells form as one to make a tissue. An example of a type of tissue they
make; muscle tissue. Others form together to make an organ such as your
liver. Whilst others make systems like a digestive system. Therefore meaning
that cells can do many activities that the human can not see with the naked
eye but can with a high quality microscope.

Differences Between Animal
And Plant Cells
Animal and plant cells nearly have all of the same organelles but, there are a
couple different organelles that are in one cell that arent in the other. These are:
Cell wall
Chloroplast
These cells are only found in the plant cell.

Centrosome
Cytoplasm
These cells are only found in the animal cell.
Unicellular or Multicellular
Nearly all animals are multicellular but not all are. All animals that are listed
below are examples of multicellular organism animals:
Bull
Cow
Goat
Horse
Donkey
Rabbit
Duck
Pig
Sheep
Chicken
Rooster
Cat
Dog

Definitions Of Types Of Cells
I have used http://dictionary.reference.com/ to help me find these definitions.

cell membrane - the semipermeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell
lysosome - a cell organelle containing enzymes that digest particles and that
disintegrate the cell after its death
nucleolus - a conspicuous, rounded body within the nucleus of a cell
nucleus - a conspicuous, rounded body within the nucleus of a cell
nuclear membrane - the double membrane surrounding the nucleus within a cell
vacuole - a membrane-bound cavity within a cell, often containing a watery
liquid or secretion
mitochondrion - an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy
production
centrosome - a small region near the nucleus in the cell cytoplasm, containing
the centrioles

Definitions Of Types Of Cells
cytoplasm - the cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus,
containing the cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particle
rough ER a membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the
synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials
smooth ER - a membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in
the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials
ribosomes - a tiny, somewhat mitten-shaped organelle occurring in great
numbers in the cell cytoplasm either freely, in small clusters, or attached to
the outer surfaces of endoplasmic reticula, and functioning as the site of
protein manufacture
golgi body - an organelle, consisting of layers of flattened sacs, that takes up
and processes secretory and synthetic products from the endoplasmic
reticulum and then either releases the finished products into various parts of
the cell cytoplasm or secretes them to the outside of the cell.




Definitions Of Types Of Cells
vacuole - a membrane-bound cavity within a cell, often containing a watery
liquid or secretion
centrosome - a small region near the nucleus in the cell cytoplasm, containing
the centrioles
semipermeable membrane - a membrane that is selectively permeable.

Did You Know
Did you know, water makes up around two thirds of our cells?

Did you know, cells are the smallest living things that are able to reproduce
themselves?

Did you know, that the number of cells an adult male loses per minute is
around 96 million but in that same amount of time, about 96 million cells
have divided therefore meaning that they have already replaced the cells that
have died?

Did you know, there are anywhere from 75 to 100 trillion cells in the body
