Answer:The structure and functions of cells that found in the video include:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Nucleus:

Structure=it is a spherical body which is covered by a double membrane which contains hereditary materials.

Functions= it controls all life activities of the cell. It stores hereditary information as it contains DNA.

2. Mitochondria:

Structure: They are oval or rod shaped and bounded by a double membrane

Functions: They are site of cellular respiration.

3. Ribosomes:

Structure: They are small round bodies attached to endoplasmic reticulum.

Functions: They are responsible for protein synthesis.

4. Endoplasmic reticulum:

Structure: They are membrane-like structure that forms channel within the cytoplasm.

Functions: they aid transport of materials within the cytoplasm.

Golgi bodies:

Structure: They are series of disc-shaped sacs.

Functions: They function in synthesis, packaging and distribution of materials within the cell.

2. Types of cell present in kidney

-messangial cell

- Loop of Henle

-podocytes
