Cell membrane:- It is the outer membrane layered structure of the cell

which is made up of lipit and proteins and it provides structural support
to the cell. It is a semi-prmeable membrane.
Nucleus:- It is the central part of the cell, contains a liquid called
nucleoplasm in which chromatin fibreis present which is made up of
DNA and Histon protein and during division of the cell this chromatin
fibre gets break down into the smaller pices called Chromosomes which
having many number of genes and these genes are transmitted from

Mitochondria:- It is the power house of the cell as in the
mitochondria glucose gets break down into the simpler substances
like CO2+H2O in the presence of oxygen through the process of
cellular aerobic respiration (Kerb s cycle)and during this process a
huge amount of ATP energy is being released. Mitochondria is
also known as sight of cellular respiration.
 Liver shall have largest number of mitochondria.
 E.R.(Endoplasmic Reticulum):-
 S.E.R(Smooth E.R.):- Fundamental fats like lipit, cholesterol
etc synthesized here.
 R.E.R.(Rough E.R.) :- It helps the ribosomes to synthesis the
protein.
 Ribosomes:- It is called proteins factory of a cell. As in the
ribosomes proteins are synthesis through the various types of
amino acids.
Protein synthesis process is known as translation and ribosomes
are the smallest unit inside the cell.

other molecules in the shall as it controls the movement of these
molecules in the shall.

Chlorophyll
D.Glucose Oxygen water
It is an anabolic process in which complex substance is been synthesized
through the simpler substances in the presence of sunlight and
chlorophyll and it is also called Endothermic process. Energy conversion
during photosynthesis solar into chemic energy. Photosynthesis process
only occurs in the red, blue and violet colour light rays. In red colour it
is maximum and in violet colour it is minimum.
 Water require for the photosynthesis reaches to the leaves
of the plant from the root through a tissue called Xylem
tissue. This action is called capillary action.
 Phloem tissue transports the nutrient salt, minerals etc
through out the plant branches.
 Water reaches to the roots of the plants from the soil
through a process called osmosis.
