The following points highlight the six main cell organelles of protoplasm. The cell organelles are: 1. Chloroplast 2. Mitochondria 3. Golgi Apparatus 4. Nucleus 5. Endoplasmic Reticulum 6. DNA Model. Cell Organelle # 1. Chloroplast: 1. Chloroplasts (Figs. 18, 19), responsible for the photosynthesis of the plants, are the characteristic features of the cells of green plants. 2. Around the [...]
