GlossaryCell Structure (cell anatomy)

organization of organelles within a cell

Cell structure, also known as cell anatomy or cell morphology, refers to the organization and arrangement of various components within a cell. These components, called organelles, include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and others, each performing specific functions essential for the cell's survival and operation. Understanding cell structure is crucial for studying how cells function, interact, and contribute to the overall biology of an organism.
