All living organisms, no matter how big or small, are made of  amino acidswaterorganscarbohydrateslipidscells.

Animals and  eukaryoteshumanstissuesplantsribosomesmitochondria have different kinds of cells. They share many features, including having a nucleus and a cell  hairmembraneorganmusclechannelwall. Cells that contain a nucleus are known as  viruseseukaryotesbacteriaplasmidsfungiprokaryotes. Other types of cells, that do not contain a nucleus, are known as  mitochondriaprokaryoteschloroplastsplasmidsribosomeseukaryotes.

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

The  cytoplasmvacuoleplasmidcell wallnucleuschloroplasts, 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  mitochondrioncell wallcytoplasmribosomecell membranenucleus, which in plants and algae is made of  nucleic acidscelluloselipidswaterstarchproteins and provides strength to the cells. Additionally, a permanent vacuole is likely present. The permanent vacuole is full of  amino acidsRNAchloroplastsDNAwatersap.
