All living organisms, no matter how big or small, are made of  watercellscarbohydratesorgansamino acidslipids.

Animals and  mitochondriahumansribosomesplantseukaryotestissues have different kinds of cells. They share many features, including having a nucleus and a cell  channelwallmembranemuscleorganhair. Cells that contain a nucleus are known as  plasmidsbacteriaprokaryotesvirusesfungieukaryotes. Other types of cells, that do not contain a nucleus, are known as  chloroplastsplasmidsmitochondriaprokaryotesribosomeseukaryotes.

Bacteria are an example of this type of cell, and they are much smaller than  prokaryoteseukaryotesplasmidsribosomeschloroplastsviruses. The genetic material in bacterial cells takes the form of  mitochondriachloroplastsnucleiribosomesloopschains.

The  plasmidcytoplasmcell wallvacuolenucleuschloroplasts, that is present in all cell types, is a jelly-like substance that contains all the chemicals needed by the organism. Two structures are present in plant cells that are not found in animal cells. These include a  cytoplasmnucleuscell membranemitochondrioncell wallribosome, which in plants and algae is made of  proteinsnucleic acidslipidswatercellulosestarch and provides strength to the cells. Additionally, a permanent vacuole is likely present. The permanent vacuole is full of  waterchloroplastsRNAsapDNAamino acids.

In order to supply energy, cells contain a number of  nucleimitochondriavacuoleschloroplastsplasmidscell membranes. They can provide energy for making proteins, which takes place on  plasmidsribosomeschloroplastscell membranesnucleivacuoles.
