Transcribed Image Text:### Cell Structure Diagram
This image illustrates the various organelles within a eukaryotic cell. Each structure is labeled with a number for easy identification and explanation. Here is a detailed description of each labeled structure:
1. **Nucleus**: Contains the cell's genetic material and coordinates activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
2. **Nuclear Envelope**: The double membrane that encloses the nucleus, protecting the genetic material.
3. **Centrosome**: Helps in organizing microtubules and is important during cell division.
4. **Vesicle**: Small, membrane-bound sacs that transport and store substances within a cell.
5. **Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)**: Studded with ribosomes and involved in protein synthesis and quality control.
6. **Golgi Apparatus** (Golgi body): Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
7. **Cell Membrane**: Semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cell, regulating the transport of substances in and out of the cell.
8. **Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)**: Involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium ion storage.
9. **Mitochondrion**: The powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
10. **Cytoplasm**: Jelly-like substance filling the cell, where organelles are suspended, and various cellular processes occur.
11. **Lysosome**: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
12. **Nucleolus**: Located within the nucleus, responsible for producing ribosomes.
13. **Peroxisome**: Contains enzymes that detoxify harmful substances and break down fatty acids.
14. **Cytoskeleton**: Network of filaments and tubules that provides structure, shape, and movement to the cell.
This diagram helps in understanding the complex organization and functionality of a typical eukaryotic cell. Each organelle plays a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and supporting various cellular activities.
