CELL
FATSORGANELLES
Specialised structures within cells that perform specific function
such as energy production, protein synthesis, waste removal, an
maintaining cellular structure. In eukaryotic cells, these structure
are typically membrane-bound, whilst, in prokaryptic cells, these
cellular processes take place without membrane-bound organell
Nucleus: The control centre of the cell, housing the genetic
material (DNA) and regulating gene expression to control
cellular activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduc

Nuclear Envelope: A double-layered membrane that
encloses the nucleus, separating it from the cytoplasm. T
nuclear envelope contains nuclear pores that regulate

Mitochondria: Known as the “powerhouse of the cell”,
mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, where
chemical energy from nutrients is converted into ATP
(adenosine triphosphate). ATP fuels essential cellular proces
necessary for the organism’s survival.

Outer Membrane: Surrounds the mitochondrion,
separating it from the cytoplasm. It contains porins, whi
allow small molecules (e.g., ions, nutrients) to pass freely
while restricting the passage of larger proteins.
Inner Membrane: A highly specialised that is

impermeable to most molecules without transport
