Organelles are specialized structures within cells that perform specific functions. Here are some examples:
* Nucleus: Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA).
* Mitochondria: Powerhouse of the cell, responsible for energy production.
* Ribosomes: Sites of protein synthesis.
* Golgi apparatus: Processes and packages proteins.
* Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
* Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials.
* Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, responsible for photosynthesis.
