The main parts of a generalized cell are cell membrane, which is the outer covering, cytoplasm, a jelly like fluid containing several organelles and nucleus, which is the brain of the cell with chromosomes to transfer characteristics to the new cells. The organelles in cytoplasm are: - Golgi apparatus made up of tubules, vesicles and vacuoles.
- Vacuoles are fluid filled space in a membrane.
- Lysosomes contain enzymes.
- Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and channels.
- Ribosomes are scattered in cytoplasm as small granular structures.
- Centrosome is present only in animal cells.
- Plastids are present only in plant cells and contain certain pigments. E.g., chloroplasts with green pigment, chromoplasts with non-green pigment and colourless leucoplasts.
- Mitochondria are tiny rod shaped or spherical bodies.
