All cells have a cell membrane that separates the inside and the outside of the cell, and controls what goes in and comes out. The cell membrane surrounds a cell’s cytoplasm, which is a jelly-like substance containing the cell’s parts.

Learn about the structure and function of cells in this introductory video from Khan Academy.
Learn about the structure and function of cellular organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Within cells, special structures are responsible for particular functions. For example, mitochondria help release energy that the cell can use for other tasks, and the nucleus contains the genetic information. The cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Cells are the most basic unit of life. All cells have a membrane that separates them from the outside world. Although cells are small, they are not simple. Cells contain different components, such as the cytoplasm, ribosomes, and genetic information in the form of DNA.
Overview of eukaryotic cells and how they differ from prokaryotic cells (nucleus, organelles, and linear chromosomes).
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. The nucleus stores DNA. The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body are involved in protein maturation and transport. Mitochondria generate usable energy for the cell. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis. Vacuoles are storage compartments that sequester waste and help maintain water balance.
