Cell organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions, much like organs in a body. Key organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.
Examples
Real-world.
- 1 Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration to power cell activities
- 2 The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes that synthesize proteins
- 3 Chloroplasts in plant cells capture sunlight to perform photosynthesis
