Animal Cell Mind Map

The document summarizes the structure and functions of the main organelles in an animal cell. It describes the endoplasmic reticulum as having internal support and transport functions. The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane and contains nucleoplasm and nucleolus. Mitochondria produce ATP and provide energy. Ribosomes manufacture proteins. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and the cell membrane is selectively permeable.
