Your typical cell is going to be classified as eukaryotic. This means it will have the usual innards you may have learned about in Biology such as the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and lots of busy little organelles. However, in your typical cell it is not organelles that are responsible for maintaining cell shape. Rather, it is a material called the cytoskeleton which is made up of protein filaments. The cytoskeleton is made of actin filaments (or microfilaments), microtubules and intermediate filaments. In a nerve cell, they're called neurofibrils. A nerve cell also has what is known as Nissl substance which, in a textbook picture, is going to look very much like lots of little organelles just taking up the 'empty' space, but they are not classified as organelles. Nerve cells are what I'm focusing on in med school right now so I'm not positive if other kinds of cells have their own equivalent of the Nissl substance perhaps by a different name. Either way, most of the cells you will be talking about have the abovementioned cytoskeleton at least.
What else can I help you with?
Which organelle is responsible for directing the cell?
The nucleus, which is also the organelle that houses the genetic material in the cell, is responsible for directing the cell.
What organelle in the cell is responsible for energy production?
The mitochondria is the organelle in the cell responsible for energy production. It generates energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
What organelle releases energy for a cell?
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for releasing energy in the form of ATP for a cell through the process of cellular respiration.
Which organelle is responsible for packaging and shipping out proteins?
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging and shipping out proteins in the cell. It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.
Which cell organelle makes new ribosomes and is found in the nucleus?
The organelle that synthesises ribosomes and is found in the nucleus is the nucleolus.
What organelle is responsible for transport?
The cell organelle responsible for cell transport is the golgi body. This organelle is shaped like stacks of flattened sacs.
What cell organelle is responsible for the cell's lysosmes?
Mitochondria is responsible for energy in the cell.
Is nucleus a part of cell organelle?
I is not a part of a cell organelle because it is the largest organelle responsible for reproduction& metabolic activities of the cell
Which cell organelle is responsible for powering the cell?
the nucleus
Which organelle is responsible for proviiding energy to the cell?
Mitochondria is responsible for energy in the cell.
Which organelle is responsible for directing the cell in a plant cell?
the nucleus
What cell structure is responsible removing wastes from the cell?
organelle
Which cell is responsible for directing the cell?
The nucleus, which is also the organelle that houses the genetic material in the cell, is responsible for directing the cell.
Which cell organelle is responsible for processing materials to transport out of the cell?
mitochondria
Which organelle is responsible for directing the cell?
The nucleus, which is also the organelle that houses the genetic material in the cell, is responsible for directing the cell.
Which organelle is responsible for cell division?
The organelle involved in cell division in animal cells is called centriolles.
Which cell organelle is responsible for the release of energy as ATP?
The mitochondria is the cell organelle responsible for releasing energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. This organelle is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces the majority of the cell's ATP.
