The structural overview of an animal cell reveals various components that contribute to its functionality. Enclosed by a plasma membrane, the cell contains a nucleus housing genetic material. Cytoplasm fills the cell, encompassing organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. The cytoskeleton provides structural support, while ribosomes synthesize proteins. Additionally, animal cells may have specialized structures such as centrioles, enabling diverse cellular functions.
