o Eukaryotic Cells: Complex cells with a nucleus (e.g., plant and animal cells).
 Cell Organelles and Functions:
o Nucleus: Controls cell activities and contains DNA.
o Mitochondria: Produces energy through cellular respiration.
o Chloroplasts: Conducts photosynthesis in plant cells.
o Cell Membrane: Controls what enters and exits the cell.
o Cytoplasm: Jelly-like substance where organelles are found.
