The Cell
Theory:
The basic unit of structure and function in the human body is the cell. Each of a cell’s part, or
organelles, as well as the entire cell, is organized to perform a specific function. Cells have the ability
to metabolize, grow and reproduce, move and response to stimuli. The cells of the body differ in
shape, size and in specific role in the body. Cells that are similar in structure and function form tissues,
which in turn, construct the various body organs.
I. Using the following list of terms, correctly label all the cell parts indicated by leader lines. Then select
different colors for each structure and use them to color the coding circles and the corresponding
structure in the illustration.

Parts Function
1. Capsule For protects bacteria
from toxic compounds
and acts as a
permeability barrier.
2. Cell wall To protect the interior of
the cell and to emphasize
the shapes.
3. Cell membrane The cell membrane
regulates the flow of
substances into and out
of the cell.
4. Cytoplasm For cell proliferation,
growth, and division.
5. Mesosome It enhances plasma
