The Components of The Cell (Cytoplasm ,Mitochondria VS Chloroplast and Lysosome

INTRODUCTION
Basically, all animal cells can be divided into two major compartments, the Nucleus and the Cytoplasm. The term Protoplasm refers to the entire contents of the cell. The nucleus resides within the interior of the cell, is surrounded by a Nuclear Envelope, and contains Nucleoplasm. It is from the nucleus that genetic instructions are conveyed to the rest of the cell. The cytoplasm is the region outside the nucleus. It is divided into a deep Endoplasm, surrounding the nucleus, and a thin superficial Ectoplasm, just beneath the cell membrane. There is no sharp boundary between the two. It is within the cytoplasm that the genetic instructions from the nucleus are implemented to maintain essential cellular processes.
The cytoplasm contains many cell organelles of which we shall learn about:
1. Those that trap and release energy e.g. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts.
2. Those that are secretory or involved in synthesis and transport e.g. Golgi, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum
3. The organelles for motility (Cilia and Flagella).
4. The suicidal bags i.e. Lysosomes.
5. The Nucleus which controls all activities of the cell, and carries the hereditary material
• Regulates exchange of material outside the cell
• Biosynthesis of macromolecules
• Generation of energy
• Cell movement
• Cytoplasmic organelles
• Cytoplasmic inclusions
• Cytoplasmic matrix or cytosol
