Explain what cells are and why there important

Cells are the basic structure and unit of life. There are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are very basic, and have no nucleus, few organelles, and are ususally bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have nuclei, are larger compared to prokaryotic cells, more organelles, and have emembrane bound organelles. There are plant and animals cells, each have certain organelles that other don't. For example, plant cells have large vacuoles and a cell wall; animal cells have centrioles. Cells are important because they provide strucure for the body, and take in nutrients from food and carry out many important functions, such as protein synthesis, respiration, growth and development, and more. Billions of cells make up a complex organism's body, while a single cell can make up an entire organisms, and carry out all of the needed functions. That's a quick summary of what cells are, and some of the things that they do that make them so important

Explanation:

im gonna compare the cells to jobs in factory. give brainliest

job in the factory //       cell organelle   //  

shipping/receiving

department                 plasma membrane    

chief executive officer// nucleus

factory floor // cytoplasm

assembly line// endoplasmic reticulum

workers in the assembly line //ribosomes

finishing/packaging department //golgi apparatus

maintenance crew //lysosomes

support beams (walls, ceilings, floors) //cytoskeleton

power plant //mitochondria/chloroplasts

here's what each part of the cell does:

plasma membrane :

regulates what enters and leaves the cell; where cell makes contact with the external environment

nucleus :

controls all cell activity; determines what proteins will be made

cytoplasm :

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum:

where ribosomes do their work

ribosomes :

build the proteins

golgi apparatus :

prepares proteins for use or export

lysosomes :

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell

cytoskeleton :

maintains cell shape

mitochondria/chloroplasts :

transforms one form of energy into another

a chair, a bed, and a toothbrush
