Define the following parts of the cell.

1. Cell
- A cell is defined as the smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life's
processes. Cells are the structural, functional, and biological units of all living beings.
A cell can replicate itself independently. Hence, they are known as the building
blocks of life.

2. Cell membrane
- The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells
and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell
membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane
regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

3. Nucleus
- A nucleus, as related to genomics, is the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell
that contains the chromosomes. An array of holes, or pores, in the nuclear
membrane allows for the selective passage of certain molecules (such as proteins
and nucleic acids) into and out of the nucleus.

4. Cytoplasm
- Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of
water, salts, and various organic molecules. Some intracellular organelles, such the
nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the
cytoplasm.

5. Vacuoles
- A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally
small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water
balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the
plant cell.
