Question

Explain the following terms? 1 endoplasmic reticulum 2 golgi appartus 3 mitochondria 4 lysosomes 5 plastids 6 vacoule 7 chloroplast 8 chromoplast

Answer 1

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.......this was endo plasimc reticulum. GOLGI Apparatus: A complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport. MITOCHONDRIA: an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner part being folded inwards to form layers (cristae). LYSOSOMES: A organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. The plastid is a major double-membrane organelle found, among others, in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. :vacuole: a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid. CHLOROPLAST: A plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. CHROMOPLAST: A coloured plastid other than a chloroplast, typically containing a yellow or orange pigment. Hope it hlped u... Thanks
