Animal cell structure, computer artwork
Animal cell. Computer artwork of a section through an animal cell. At the centre is the nucleus, which contains the cells genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Surrounding the nucleus is endoplasmic reticulum (ER, pink), a membrane bound organelle that is the site of lipid synthesis and the production of membrane-bound proteins. Also present are mitochondria (blue and yellow), which produce the cells energy and golgi bodies (dark pink with vesicles budding from them) a membrane-bound organelle that modifies and packages proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an animal cell, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. At the core of this cellular masterpiece lies the nucleus, housing the vital genetic information encoded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Surrounding the nucleus is a network of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), distinguished by its pink hue. This membrane-bound organelle serves as a hub for lipid synthesis and production of proteins that are embedded within cell membranes. The vibrant blue and yellow structures scattered throughout represent mitochondria, renowned as powerhouses of cells due to their role in generating energy. Adding further complexity to this microscopic world are golgi bodies, depicted in dark pink with vesicles budding from them. These membrane-bound organelles play a crucial part in modifying and packaging proteins before they are transported to their designated destinations within or outside the cell. This awe-inspiring illustration not only highlights the mesmerizing beauty inherent in biology but also underscores its significance in understanding life at its most fundamental level. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration, offering us a glimpse into the remarkable intricacies that govern our existence on a cellular scale.
