differentiate endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrion
Answers
Answer:
Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production, maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis and regulation of apoptosis, while ER is involved in protein folding, lipid metabolism as well as Ca2+ homeostasis.
Explanation:
Mitochondria make ATP, the energy molecules of cells, from glucose. They have other functions like sending the apoptosis signal when it is time for the cell to die. They may have other functions, but they are basically the fuel-maker of cells. They have their own DNA which is different, as they are not part of us, but adopted most multicelled animals billions of years ago for the symbiotic relationship.
Ribosomes are the worker organelles in the cytoplasm of cells. They make amino acids from the RNA copy of the section of DNA in the nucleus that is the instructions for the protein. Per the RNA instructions, they build and link the number of amino acids called for, and twist or knot them into the proper form for that protein.
