In the world of cells, there's a kingdom quite grand,
Where animals reside, in a harmonious band.
Like tiny universes, they're marvels to see,
With structures and functions that make them unique, you see.
The cell membrane is the boundary, so tough,
Protecting the cell from the world, it's enough.
The cytoplasm, jelly-like, filling the cell,
The organelles, like tiny machines, they dwell.
The nucleus, the control center, where DNA presides,
Directing the cell's activities, like masterful guides.
Mitochondria, the energy powerhouses, producing ATP,
Fueling the cell's needs, keeping it full of pep.
Endoplasmic reticulum, a network of membranes vast,
Transports proteins and lipids, a vital task.
Golgi apparatus, the packaging and shipping department,
Modifies proteins, preparing them for their important shipment.
Lysosomes, the cell's recycling center, breaking down waste,
Keeping the cell clean, preventing any distaste.
Ribosomes, the protein synthesis factories, small but mighty,
Reading DNA, assembling proteins, so nifty.
Cytoskeleton, the cell's internal scaffolding, strong and steady,
Supporting the cell's shape and providing stability.
Vacuoles, storage compartments for various needs,
Holding water, nutrients, and waste, as the cell's own little seeds.
These animal cells, complex and full of life,
Perform countless tasks, sustaining their strife.
From single-celled organisms to complex beings alive,
Animal cells are the foundation on which we thrive.
Remember these rhymes and let them be your guide,
Exploring the world of animal cells, side by side.
Discover their secrets, their wonders unfold,
In the kingdom of animal cells, stories yet untold.
