Q

eukaryotic cells, which have a true nucleus along with specialized structures called organelles that carry out different functions. Plant cells have special organelles called chloroplasts, which create sugars via photosynthesis, and a cell wall that provides structural support.

Q

is a large organelle made of membranous sheets and tubules that begin near the nucleus and extend across the cell. Itcreates, packages, and secretes many of the products created by a cell. Ribosomes, which create proteins, line a portion of this.
