- Nucleus: Controls cell activities and contains genetic material.
- Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes within the nucleus.
- Chromatin: DNA and protein complex that condenses into chromosomes during cell division.
- Centrioles: Help organize microtubules during cell division.
- Cytoskeleton: Provides structural support and enables cell movement and transport.
- Mitochondria: Generate energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
- Plasma Membrane: Regulates passage of substances in and out of the cell.
- Cytoplasm: Gel-like substance where organelles are suspended and metabolic reactions occur.
- Ribosomes: Synthesize proteins; found free in cytoplasm or attached to rough ER.
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Modifies and transports proteins; studded with ribosomes.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery.
- Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and cellular debris.
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Synthesizes lipids and detoxifies harmful substances.
