Note the plasma membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, and the cilia. What is the function of these cells?
The plasma membrane serves as a protective barrier for the cell, controlling the entry and exit of substances. It also facilitates communication with other cells.
The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the genetic material (DNA) and regulating the cell's activities, such as cell reproduction, growth, and protein synthesis.
Cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and houses various organelles. It allows for the movement and transport of substances within the cell and provides a medium for cellular processes to occur.
Cilia are hair-like structures on the cell surface that aid in cell motility and movement of substances across the cell surface. They can also play a sensory role in detecting stimuli.
