NUCLEUS:

The control center/ brain of the cell, it contains the cell’s genetic material (dna) and directs activities like growth and reproduction.

Mitochondria:

The powerhouse of the cell, it generates energy for the cell through a process called cellular respiration.

RIBOSOMES:

The protein factories of the cell, they make proteins that are needed for various

Functions like repairing damage.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER):

Rough Er: Has Ribosomes On Its Surface And Helps In Making And Transporting Proteins.

Smooth Er: Makes Lipids (Fats) And Detoxifies Harmful Substances.

Golgi Apparatus:

The packaging and shipping center, it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.

Lysosomes:

The suicide bag center, it breaks down waste materials and old cell parts.

Vacuoles:

Storage units that hold materials like water, nutrients, or waste. Plant cells usually have a large central vacuole.

Chloroplasts (only in plant cells):

The solar panels of the cell, they convert sunlight into energy (sugar) through photosynthesis.

Cell Membrane:

The protective barrier of the cell, it controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Cytoplasm:

The jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.

Cytoskeleton:

The cell's framework, it helps maintain the cell's shape and aids in movement.

Centrosome:

Important for cell division, it helps in organizing microtubules and is involved in cell reproduction.
