Organelle info snapshot
Cell Structure Explorer
Selected: Nucleus
Function
The control center that stores DNA and coordinates gene expression, cell growth, and division.
Fun fact
Nuclear pores act like guarded doorways, allowing RNA and proteins to pass while protecting DNA.
Memory tip
Nucleus = 'news' center. It holds the instructions and sends out messages to the cell.
Educational diagram for learning. Visual proportions are stylized, not to scale.
How to use this cell structure explorer
Cells are the basic units of life. Inside an animal cell, organelles act like specialized tools: some store genetic instructions, some produce energy, some build proteins, and others package or recycle materials. This interactive cell structure explorer helps you learn organelles by combining a labeled visual with short explanations and a study quiz.
Tap-to-learn organelles
Tap any organelle in the diagram to highlight it and open a detail card with its name, function, a fun fact, and a memory tip. Use the search box if you want to jump directly to an organelle like the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, rough ER, or lysosome.
Study mode quiz
Study Mode turns the diagram into a quick quiz. The tool asks you to identify organelles by name. Your best score is saved in localStorage so you can come back later and keep practicing. This is designed to be beginner-friendly and fast.
Exporting a study card
You can export a branded PNG snapshot of the selected organelle’s info card for notes, flashcards, or classroom handouts. The export is generated in your browser without uploading your data to a server.
This tool is educational and the diagram is stylized, not to scale. For deeper biology learning, pair this with practice questions and reference diagrams from your class materials.
