I WONDER - How Are Cells Structured?

Cells are intricate structures with organelles that perform specific functions. The nucleus acts as the control center, housing genetic material, while mitochondria convert nutrients into energy. The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus collaborate in protein synthesis, with ribosomes assembling proteins based on DNA instructions. This complex setup allows cells to execute vital life functions.
