Cells and the parts of the cell.

                'Sup guys. I know science is lame for most of you, but you guys are about to get your minds blown I mean BLOWN when I show you all about the cell and the parts of the cell.
A cell is basically what a living thing is made up of. you are made up of cells and every kingdom has cells. if you try to look at yourself with a microscope, you will see millions of cells in your body. Don't try to put your leg on the microscope. Anyway, the cell is like a factory that has specific type of employee that does their own job.

Here are the specific organelles that do each job: 


  • The mitochondria breaks down food and releases energy just like your burning calories.

  • Lysosomes break down food, cell waste, and used up cell parts just like a demolisher.

  • vacuoles and vesicles are storage organelles that keep track of water, waste products, and food until they are needed just like a refrigerator

  • The ER ( endoplasmic reticulum) has two types: The smooth ER creates and stores large molecules just like a warehouse and the rough ER is full of smaller structures called ribosomes. 

  • Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins (not protein like you find in meat) which cells need for everything they do. Once they make proteins, the RER transports them to other locations in the cell. 
  • Sacs in the cell are called golgi bodies which pack up proteins that are ready to be sent out out to your body like a power surge. 
Now here are the main parts of the cell:
  • The cell membrane is basically like a security guard. it keeps the harmful chemicals out and lets all the other stuff in. 

  • Cytoplasm is like a tour guide. It carries organelles around the cell.


  • The nucleus is like the CEO. It dictates and gives out orders to the other cells. It is also guided by DNA which contains all of your body's life functions for life and makes you, you. 
Anyway that's basically it. if you are interested in my blog, I'll make more blogs. See you later guys.
