Animal cell structure
Animal cell structure. Artwork of a section through an animal cell. At lower centre is the nucleus, which contains the cells genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Surrounding the nucleus is endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a membrane bound organelle that is the site of lipid synthesis and the production of membrane-bound proteins. ER may be either rough (RER), that is with ribosomes (purple dots), or smooth (SER), without ribosomes. Also present are mitochondria, which produce the cells energy, and golgi apparatus, a membrane-bound organelle that modifies and packages proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an animal cell, revealing its fascinating components and functions. The artwork provides a detailed section through the cell, allowing us to explore its inner workings. At the lower center of the image, we find the nucleus, which serves as the control center of the cell. It contains DNA, carrying vital genetic information that directs cellular activities. Surrounding the nucleus is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a membrane-bound organelle responsible for lipid synthesis and production of proteins bound within membranes. Interestingly, there are two types of ER depicted here: rough ER (RER) with ribosomes dotting its surface in purple and smooth ER (SER) without ribosomes. The presence of mitochondria is also evident in this artwork. These powerhouse organelles generate energy for cellular processes. Additionally, we can observe another crucial organelle called golgi apparatus – it modifies and packages proteins before they are transported to their designated destinations within or outside the cell. With a white background enhancing clarity, this illustration offers valuable insights into animal cell biology. Each labeled component contributes to our understanding of how cells function and interact within living organisms. This remarkable visual representation from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both scientific beauty and complexity at a microscopic level
