In summary, the main parts of a cell are the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, while the cytoplasm holds and supports the cell's organelles. The nucleus is responsible for controlling the cell's activities and contains the cell's genetic material. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, converting nutrients into energy and playing a role in other cellular processes.

Why do you think there would be parts missing?
What are the main parts of a cell?
The main parts of a cell are the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Some cells may also have additional structures such as a cell wall, chloroplasts, or mitochondria.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell. It also helps maintain the cell's shape and protects the cell from its environment.
What is the cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and holds the cell's organelles. It is responsible for supporting and protecting the organelles and helps with the movement of materials within the cell.
What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?
The nucleus is often referred to as the "control center" of the cell. It contains the cell's genetic material, DNA, and is responsible for controlling the cell's activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for converting nutrients into energy that the cell can use. They are also involved in other important cellular processes such as cell signaling and cell differentiation.
