6 Cell Organelles
Nucleus: Known as the cell’s “command center,” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA.
Ribosomes: Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. Composed of two subunits.
Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membranous organelle that shares part of its membrane with that of the nucleus.
Golgi apparatus: If the proteins from the rough ER require further modification, they are transported to the Golgi apparatus.
Chloroplasts: In plants and some algae, organelles known as chloroplasts serve as the site of photosynthesis.
Mitochondria: The “powerhouses” of the cell, mitochondria are oval-shaped organelles found in most eukaryotic cells.
