Cell organelles are the various specialized structures present in a cell that perform distinct functions. Some synonyms for cell organelles include cellular structures, intracellular components, subcellular organelles, organelles of the cell, and cytoplasmic organelles. Each organelle has a specific function that is essential for the proper functioning of the cell and includes mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and vacuoles. These organelles work together to maintain a balance in the cell, perform cellular processes necessary for life, and ensure that all vital functions are carried out efficiently. To fully understand cell biology, knowledge of cell organelles is crucial.
