1. Nucleus and Nucleolus:
- The nucleus is the central membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material (DNA) of the cell.
- The nucleolus is a region within the nucleus responsible for ribosome assembly.
2. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Golgi Apparatus:
- The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.
- The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages these proteins and lipids for transportation.
3. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts:
- Mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, producing ATP (energy) for the cell.
- Chloroplasts, found in plant cells, are involved in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
4. Lysosomes and Peroxisomes:
- Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials in the cell.
- Peroxisomes are involved in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids.
These are just a few examples, and there are more organelles in a cell, each with specific functions that contribute to the overall functioning of the cell.
