Cell Membrane

The semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits.

Cytoplasm

The gel-like substance inside the cell that houses the organelles, giving the cell structure and support.

Nucleus

The control center of the cell, containing genetic information and responsible for regulating cell activity.

Mitochondria

Tiny factories within the cell that produce energy (ATP) for the cell's processes.
