Eukaryotic cells possess several essential components, each with specific functions:
- Nucleus: The control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA). - Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell, responsible for energy production. - Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis. - Golgi Apparatus: Processes and packages proteins and lipids for transport. - Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for digestion of cellular waste. - Plasma Membrane: A lipid bilayer that regulates the entry and exit of substances.
