Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is the largest and most significant living organelle of the cell. All cell activities of the cell are regulated by the nucleus. Hence it is called brain or control centre of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.
