Drawing showing a cell containing organelles, including the nucleus (contains DNA), the nucleolus, Golgi complex, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Also shown are the cell membrane and a membrane receptor.

Double membrane-bound organelles: Nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast are double membrane-bound organelles present only in a eukaryotic cell. Let us learn more in detail about the different cell organelles in brief. The plasma membrane is also termed as a Cell Membrane or Cytoplasmic Membrane.

2 days ago · Mitochondria. Mitochondria (singular = mitochondrion) are often called the “powerhouses” or “energy factories” of a cell because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule. The formation of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is known as cellular respiration.

We also can see some of the larger subcellular organelles in a cell (like the nucleus and mitochondria), but not much of the smaller organelles. Also, any structure that we can see that’s close to the limit of resolution of the light microscope won’t have much detail visible.

A cell consists of a nucleus and cytoplasm and is contained within the cell membrane, which regulates what passes in and out. The nucleus contains chromosomes, which are the cell's genetic material, and a nucleolus, which produces ribosomes.

The nucleus is the major site of transcription, where the genes carried on the chromosomes are copied into RNA sequences. These primary RNA sequences are processed in the nucleus, modified by the enzymatic addition of caps and tails, as …
