Name two organelles found in a cell?
Cell organelles are tiny structures within cells that perform specific functions for the cell. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and lysosomes. Organelles work together to keep the cell alive, healthy, and functioning properly.

How do the different organelles interact to help the cell function?
Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell. These organelles are responsible for energy production in the form of ATP. Ribosomes: These are organelles responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell. Endoplasmic Reticulum: This organelle is responsible for the synthesis, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids throughout the cell.
Concepts:
The nucleus is the largest organelle in a human cell at around 6 micrometers in diameter. The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle responsible for folding and sorting proteins within a cell. Mitochondria can actually move around a cell in a process referred to as mitochondrial motility.
