 List the three main parts of a cell and explain their functions

The three main/basic parts of the cell are:

  1. Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)
  2. Cytoplasm
  3. Nucleus

Explanation:

Each cell is surrounded by a lipid-rich Cell membrane (also called the Plasma Membrane) that forms a boundary between the cell and its environment.

The membrane encloses the Cytoplasm, which includes all cell contents (except the Nucleus, in cells that have one). Cytosol is the fluid of Cytoplasm.

Nucleus is the central part of an atom, and the process of milk production and secretion begins here; the organelle that contains DNA in eukaryotic cells.

1. Plasma membrane - a selective barrier that surrounds the cell, separating the outside of the cell from the internal components of the cell and establishes and maintains an appropriate environment for normal cellular activities.
2.Cytoplasm - cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus consisting of the cytosol that suspends particles and dissolves solutes and the various cellular organelles responsible for conducting specific cellular functions.
3. Nucleus - large cellular organelle that houses most of the cells' DNA and functions as the primary control center for heredity and cell structure and function.
