Exploring Cell Organelles

This video introduces the unit on cell organelles, covering their names, functions, and structures. It explains the roles of the nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, cell membrane, cell wall, vacuoles, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, and centrioles. The video emphasizes understanding the functions and structures of these organelles, preparing students for further activities.
