Cell Poem

Diversity,
Yes, cells
They are diverse
Just like the people in the world
There are Europeans, Asians, Americans
There might be plant cells, animal cells, prokaryotic cells
Some similar characteristics,
Some completely different

Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles
It is much similar in structure than eukaryotes
Some has cell walls, to protect them
All have plasma membrane and ribosomes
Some can move with flagella, to move around

An animal cell, a lot more complex
With a nucleus where the heredity information are stored
The ribosomes, making proteins
And the Golgi apparatus, sorting and secreting cell products
The mitochondria, generate energy
And the lysosome, digestion
Floating around in cytoplasm
All enclosed in a cell membrane

A plant cell, similar to an animal cell
But does not have the lysosomes
Yet contain chloroplasts to absorb sunlight
central vacuole to store and breakdown waste products
And the cell wall
Maintaining the cell's shape and for protection

Yes, cells are different
They are diverse
They act like a little factory working inside an organism
It is so fascinating
