Cell Organelles and Their Functions

The video is a guided tour inside a human cell, best viewed in VR. It explains the cell's structure and functions, highlighting organelles like ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria. The video describes how proteins are synthesized and transported, the role of the cytoskeleton, and how proteasomes recycle proteins. It emphasizes the complexity and importance of cells in the human body.
