Cell Organelles I

The cell wall provides structure and support to the cell, helping to maintain its shape.

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

The nucleus is often referred to as the 'brain' of the cell because it controls cell activities.

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills most of the cell and contains organelles.

Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in the cell.

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy in plant cells.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.
