P1- Describe the functions of the main cells components
Cells are the basic units if organisms in which all living things are made. The appearance of the cells depends of the area it is located at and the functions within the organism. A cell consists of many components. These are plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, the endo reticulum (rough and smooth), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondrion and the nucleus. Each of these parts of the cell, play an important role, if it did not have all these parts then the cell would not work in a what it is meant to.

The cell membrane (or plasma) is a thin skin around the cell. It gives the cell its shape and controls what goes into and out of the cell. If the plasma membrane was to get damaged in any way, and it wouldn't let anything enter or exit it, then we would not be able to get oxygen in and let carbon dioxide out. This means that we wouldn't be able to live, as we have to need oxygen and to let out carbon dioxide for respiration which provides our body with the energy to go through the processes that it needs.
