Question

1. What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus and the Mitochondria ? 2. Why are Lysosomes also called as 'Suicide Bags' ?

Answer 1

FUNCTION OF GOLGI APPARATUS :
It process and bundle macromolecules like proteins and lipids as they are synthesized within the cell.

FUNCTION OF MITOCHONDRIA :
The main function of mitochondria is the production of ATP through cellular redpiration.

LYSOSOMES are called sucide bags because in case of disturbance of their cellular metabolism they digest their own cell by releasing own enzymes.

Answer 2

Function of the Golgi Apparatus:-

• Golgi apparatus help in secretion of certain hormones, enzymes, etc.
• They help in the formation of cell wall in plant cells.
• They are also involved in transport of substances within the cell.

Function of mitochondria:-

• They help in cellular respiration.
• They oxidize food by utilizing oxygen and release energy in the form of Adenosine Tri phosphate (ATP). Thus,they are also called the powerhouse of the cell.

Lysosomes are also called "Suicide bags of the cell" because:-

Under some circumstances,lysosomes release enzymes that digest other cell Organells
