If you need more detailed information about any specific biomolecule, let me know! organelles Nucleus : Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and is the control center for cell activities. Mitochondria : they produce ATP through cellular respiration. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - **Rough ER**: Studded with ribosomes; involved in protein synthesis and processing. - **Smooth ER**: Lacks ribosomes; involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification. Ribosomes : Sites of protein synthesis; can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER. Golgi Apparatus : Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles. Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris. Peroxisomes: Contain enzymes that detoxify harmful substances and metabolize fatty acids. Cytoskeleton: A network of fibers (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) that provides structural support and aids in cell movement. Plasma Membrane : The outer boundary of the cell that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Centrioles : Involved in cell division and the formation of cilia and flagella. Vacuoles: Storage organelles; larger in plant cells, they store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure. Chloroplasts (in plant cells) : Sites of photosynthesis; contain chlorophyll and convert light energy into chemical energy. Cell Wall: (in plant cells, fungi, and some prokaryotes) : Provides structural support and protection; made of cellulose in plants. Nucleolus: Located within the nucleus; involved in ribosome production. Cilia and Flagella: Hair-like structures that aid in cell movement and the movement of substances across the cell surface.
