What are cell components?
Nucleus :
The core of the cell as it contains the genetic material and it directs the cell function through gene expressions.
Mitochondrion :
The main source of cell energy.
Endoplasmic reticulum:
Network of membranes through the cytoplasm, provides scaffolds for cellular activity and cell transport.
Ribosome : Responsible for protein synthesis.
Golgi apparatus : is the site of post-translational protein modification.
Lysosomes : breaks down organic components and structures.
Peroxisome : Responsible for breaking down fatty acids.
Centriols : has a role in chromosome movement during mitosis.
Cell membrane : composed of lipid bilayer and the outer covering for the cell, responsible for regulating the uptake and release of bio-molecules as well as protecting the cell contents.
