2️⃣ Functions of Organelles
Nucleus – controls cell, contains DNA
Cytoplasm – site of chemical reactions
Cell membrane – controls what enters/exits
Mitochondria – aerobic respiration, energy production
Ribosomes – protein synthesis
Chloroplasts – photosynthesis
Cell Wall – supports plant cells
Vacuole – stores water, maintains turgor
