What are three main parts of cell and describe the function of each?
1. Cell Membrane- Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. It is sometimes called a plasma membrane. The cell membrane separtes the cell from its external environment and from the neighboring cells. It also regulates the passage or transport of certain molecules into and out of the cell, while preventing the passage of others. This is why the cell membrane is often called a selective semipermeable membrane. The cell membrane consists of protein and lipid (fatty substance) molecules arranged in a double layer. 2. Nucleus- The nucleus is the most important organelle (Little Body) within the cell. It has two vital functions; to control the activities of the cell and to facilitate cell division. This spherical organelle is usually located in or near the center of the cell. Various dyes or stains, such as iodine, can be used to make the nucleus stand out. The nucleus stains vividly becaue it contains deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein. Surrounding the nucleus is a membrane called the nuclear membrane. The DNA and protein are arranged in a loose and diffuse state called chromatin. When the cell is ready to divide, the chromatin condenses to form short, rodlike structures called chromosomes. There is a specific number of chromosomes in the nucleus for each species. When a cell reaches a certain size, it may divide to form two new cells. The nucleus divides first by a process called mitosis. It is only during the process of mitosis that the chromosomes can be seen. Chromosomes are important because they store hereditary material DNA, which is passed on from one generation of cells to the next. 3. Cytoplasm- Cytoplasm is a sticky, semifluid material found between the nucleus and the cell membrane. Chemical analysis of the cytoplasm shows that it consists of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, salts, and water. Each of these substances other than water varies greatly from one cell to the next and form one organism to the next. The cytoplasm is the background for all chemical reactions that take place in the cell, such as protein synthesis an cellular respiration. Molecules are transported about the cell by the circular motion of the cytoplasm. Embedded in the cytoplasm are organelles, or cell structures that help a cell to function.
What are the small storage spaces in a cell called?
The storage areas of a cell are called vacuoles. They are typically enclosed by a membrane and store food, excess water, or waste.

Where is the genetic materials chromosomes stored in plant and animal cell?
Eukaryotic cells store their genetic material (DNA) in chromosomes in the nucleus.In addition there is some DNA in each mitochondrion and chloroplast.Prokaryotic cells store their genetic information in a single chromosome in the cytoplasm, and in a number of small rings of DNA called plasmids, also in the cytoplasm.
What Organelles store most of the cell's hereditary information?
The Nucleus
What does DNA store or contain?
DNA contains the genes, x chromosomes, and y chromosomes.
What does the nucleus do for the the animal cell?
As for any eukaryote, the nucleus controls all metabolisms (such as the nutrients that come and go) and contains the hereditary material (DNA) necessary for reproduction.The nucleus is an organelle within every cell in an animal; its purpose is to store genetic information and to direct the cell's ongoing activities through regulation of the RNA that is produced.protects it
What are the chromosomes function?
To store and pass on the DNA of the host
Does the large intestine store excess material?
It does not store excess material the rectum does that.
