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.

∙ 11y agoMitosis is the cellular process in which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. When mitosis takes place in some prokaryotes (single-cell organisms), two new organisms result. When mitosis occurs in eucaryotes (multicellular organisms like people), the new cells both are part of the same organism, resulting in growth and/or repair of the organism.

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?
Mitochondria is responsible for energy generation in the cell.
What organelle is responsible for gas exchange?
cell membrane
Which organelle is responsible for releasing energy for a cell?
Mitochondria in animals.
What cell organelle is responsible for packaging zymogen granules?
The Golgi Apparatus
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.
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.
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
