Best Answer

tHe cell is made of protoplasm.
Animal cells typically are made of the following:

  • Nucleus
    • Nucleolus (within nucleus)
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
  • Smooth ER
  • Ribosomes
  • Cytoskeleton
  • Golgi apparatus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Mitochondria
  • Vesicles
  • Lysosomes
  • Centrosome
    • Centrioles

Plant cells are typically made of the following:
  • Nucleus
    • Nucleolus (within nucleus)
  • Rough ER
  • Smooth ER
  • Ribosomes
  • Cytoskeleton
  • Golgi apparatus (dictiosomes)
  • Cytoplasm
  • Mitochondria
  • Plastids and its derivatives
  • Vacuole(s)
  • Cell wall
  • the human cell is made ofblood

Example: *RED BLOOD CELLS*

Put those many atoms of each substance-3,042 atoms of carbon, 4,812 atoms of hydrogen, 780 atoms of nitrogen,4 atoms of iron, 872 atoms of oxygen, and 12 atoms of sulfur together in the right order and you have the most complex molecule we know of.

It is something so tiny one needs a high powered microscope in order to see it. The speed with which the red blood cell carries out its complex functions is incredible. The complex data it carries is even more mindboggling.

Therefore (Cells are composed of Atoms) and all matter is not only mostly energy, but it is mostly space. This is hardly philosophy disguised as science. This is simple fact. In the above example of the red blood cell, we noted the number of each atoms. This translates to 102,408 charged particles making up the atoms of its structure. These same particles are what is in your computer key board, a wall, a car, rubber, anything. The red blood cell is different because of their arrangement. This creates the red blood cell. Remove the space from that red blood cell and no microscope will be able to detect those tiny particles.

It is the same for everything. Remove the space from it, and you have very little.

It is possible to estimate how many charged particles are in any given substance. Simply consider there are 30,000,000,000 red blood cells in the body. Mathematically, it is possible to determine how many electrons and protons and neutrons make up the blood cells. Add the volume of all tissues, of every atom from calcium to Iron, to whatever. It is beyond number probably. Take all the space out of the human body and all these charged particles would form a pile that is still so small it is invisible.

A cell is the very smallest unit of living matter.

And it depends of the type of cell you are talking about, plant, animal it just just depends.

It is the smallest, basic unit of life, which is classified as a living thing. They're made of atoms, the smallest units of matter.

Is cell membrane made up of cells and why?

The cell membrane is a part of a cell; specifically, it is the outermost layer, or effectively the skin of the cell. It is not made up of cells. A cell is not itself made up of cells, that would entail an infinite regression.
