Organelles are essentially the "organs" of a cell, each performing a specific function to keep the cell alive and functioning. Examples of organelles include:
* Nucleus: Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA)
* Mitochondria: Produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration
* Endoplasmic reticulum: Synthesizes proteins and lipids
* Golgi apparatus: Packages and modifies proteins
* Lysosomes: Digest waste materials
* Peroxisomes: Break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances
