look at the following cartoon of a cell find out the functions of cell organelles
Answers
Answer:
The cell organelles are specialized components of cell that carry out unique duties that help the cell function.
Explanation:
Cell organelles just like organs of the body are different from each other and are the components of the cell that help it carry out its function.
Here are some examples of cell organelles and their functions:
Nucleus: this organelle is the nerve center of the cell. The nucleus controls all of the cell's function and also contains the cell's genetic information ( DNA).
Ribosomes: these organelles form the site at which protein synthesis takes place in the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum - the endoplasmic reticulum are the channels through transport within the cell takes place.
Golgi Bodies: the golgi bodies are the organelles in which synthesized protein are stored.
Mitochondria: The mitochondria is the "power house" of the cell. In the mitochondria,chemical energy in food nutrients is converted to ATP molecules that are able to store energy in a form that can be used by the cells.
Lysosomes: these organelles are small sacs that contain digestive enzymes. The digestive enzymes can be used to digest old foreign materials, worn out organelles and/or food
Vacuoles: These are storage sites of the cell. Cell vacuoles store food, water, waste products, sugar and minerals.
⇒ The above organelles can be found in both animal and plant cells.
There are organelles that are found in plants and not in animals, like:
Cell wall: This is the membrane that encloses the cell membrane in plant cells. It gives plant cell there shape.
Plastids like chloroplasts and leucoplast: By using these organelles plants can make and store food. For instance chloroplasts in green plants contain chlorophyll which helps in photosynthesis.
Central vacuole: This a centrally located fluid filled sac in plant cells.
⇒There are also organelles that exist in animals that not exist in plants eg. cillia and flagella. These organelles aid in movement of materials along tubular organs in multi-cellular organisms and in locomotion is single-celled organisms.
