The basic components of a cell in a living organism are:

1. Cell Membrane: The outer layer that protects the cell.
2. Cytoplasm: A jelly-like substance inside the cell where many things happen.
3. Nucleus: The control center where the cell's instructions (DNA) are stored.
4. Mitochondria: The powerhouses that give the cell energy.
5. Ribosomes: Small factories that make proteins.
6. Lysosomes: Tiny bags that clean up waste and broken things.

These are the main parts that make up a cell, and they all work together to keep the cell alive and healthy.
