I am a cell
A basic unit of life
I'll tell you my components
And what they all do
The cell membrane
Is my buddy too
It covers me
To protect me and you
Then there's a cytoplasm
Which is much like clear jelly
It fills me up
Like food in your belly
The .rare passageways
They're close like good brothers
Taking proteins
From one part to the other
Then there's my nucleus
My "control centre" or "brain"
It gives me chromatin
From it, instructions I gain
But the nucleus needs
Protection too
And this is what its membrane
Is assigned to do
Tiny structures
Where proteins are made
These are ribosomes
They do that everyday
A vacuole
Is like a water balloon
Holding in water
Inside of you
I also have chromosomes
Honesty, I say
They contain protein
Along with DNA
My friend the plant cell
Has parts to it too
Now, I'll show these exclusives
And what they all do
The cellulose cell wall
Is sturdy and strong
Around a plant cell's membrane
It lasts very long
There's one more component
Exclusive to plant cells
It's the chloroplast
Where photosynthesis happens so well
Now, the parts of the cell
we know very well,
but the comparisons
will come in as well
plant cells has a cell wall
but the animal does not
the plant cell has chloroplast
but the animal cell does not
This is a cell
And all of my parts
It's like a puzzle
In your body, like arts
I'll keep you feeling great
If you bodily care
You do demonstrate
Though, I am complex
Through my twists and bends
I hope you learned much
'Cause this is the end
