# Cell Components and Their Functions | Cell component | Function | |---|---| | Plasma membrane | Regulates the movement of substances across the cell and separates the contents of the cell from the external environment | | Cell wall | Maintains the shape of plant cells, protects the plant cells from burst and provides strength and support to the plant cell | | Cytoplasm | Acts as a medium for biochemical reactions of most living processes in the cell | | Nucleus | Carries genetic information in the form of DNA | | Vacuole | Stores nutrients, wastes and metabolic by-product | | Ribosome | Synthesizes proteins | | Mitochondria | Synthesizes ATP and as a site of cellular respiration |
