PH-BIOCHEM Cell Structure and Their Functions

This document describes the main cell structures and their functions. It lists 12 key cell organelles and structures: the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, chloroplasts, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vacuoles. The cell membrane separates the cell from its external environment. Organelles like the nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria have specialized functions like DNA synthesis, photosynthesis, and aerobic respiration.
