Subcellular components

There are other component of cell beside cell membrane and these  include cytoskeleton , genetic material and organelle
When i start by  cytoskeleton , to make you take a basic idea on it , look with me at this image ,  you will find interlink tube of metal that aid to make this constriction  more stable and give it its shape , don’t be

surprise if I told you there is interlink tuble like this on cell and  its function is to give the cell its shape beside stability function

Cytoskeleton

It is a complex network of interlinking filaments and tubules that extend throughout the cytoplasm, from the nucleus to the plasma membrane.
A multitude of functions can be performed by the cytoskeleton.
1-Its primary function would arguably be to give the cell its shape and mechanical resistance to deformation,
 2-and through association with extracellular connective tissue and other cells it stabilizes entire tissues
       3- The cytoskeleton can also contract, thereby deforming the cell and the cell's environment and allowing cells to migrate.
          4-it forms specialized structures, such as flagella, cilia, lamellipodia and podosomes



 Genetic material

It aid to give organism its propery , its consist of nucleic acid ,  there are  Two different kinds of genetic material exist: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Cells use DNA for their long-term information storage , we mean by that the information that the cell want to  transport to the next generation  or information concerned with survive .  RNA is used for information transport , not like DNA , example include in some situation a stimulus cause nucleus to make RNA , that aid to synthesis some protein to make cell adapt to this stimulus  , and those. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are used to add amino acids during protein translation.

DNA

Organelles

 are parts of the cell which are adapted and/or specialized for carrying out one or more vital functions, analogous to the organs of the human body (such as the heart, lung, and kidney, with each organ performing a different function).[3] Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have organelles, but prokaryotic organelles are generally simpler and are not membrane-bound.
There are several types of organelles in a cell. Some (such as the nucleus and golgi apparatus) are typically solitary, while others (such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes and lysosomes) can be numerous (hundreds to thousands). The cytosol is the gelatinous fluid that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
