A concise overview of cell structures and their functions, focusing on both plant and animal cells. It covers key components such as the cell membrane, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, ribosomes, lysosomes, mitochondria, golgi body, centrioles, vacuoles, nucleolus, cell wall, cilia, flagella, chloroplasts, and chromosomes. Additionally, it outlines the three main points of cell theory and highlights the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. This material is suitable for students studying introductory biology or cell biology, offering a foundational understanding of cellular biology. (410 characters)

Rough ER - ANS_pathway for the transport of material throughout the cell
nucleus - ANS_control center containing DNA and cell instructions
Ribosomes - ANS_makes protein; many located on ER
lysosomes - ANS_Involved in the digestion of food within the cell
mitochondria - ANS_harvests energy; known as the "powerhouse" of the cell
