How do cell components function?

Cell components function in various ways to maintain the proper functioning of a cell. For example, the cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, while the cytoplasm contains the organelles that carry out specific functions such as energy production, protein synthesis, and storage of genetic material. Mitochondria produce energy for the cell through the process of cellular respiration. Ribosomes synthesize proteins based on genetic instructions. Lysosomes break down molecules and organelles that are no longer needed in the cell. Each cell component has a specific role to play in maintaining the overall health and function of the cell.
