i think the main function is carried out bu the riboseme which has the function of the protein production.

The functions of animal cell are all carried out by the different cell organelles. These cell organelles function as a unit and regulate the activities of the cell on the whole. The different cell organelles present in an animal cell are;
1. Cell Nucleus - The nucleus is referred to as the heart of the cell. The nucleus houses the genetic material of the organism which is the DNA. DNA replication and RNA synthesis occurs in the nucleus. It regulates the activities of the other cell organelles thus a very important cell organelle. The cell nucleus is bound by a definite membrane called the nuclear membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm.
2. Mitochondria - The mitochondria is also referred to as the power house of the cell. It is a double membrane organelle that helps in energy production for the cell.The energy is generated in the form of ATP. Mitochondria also has its own genetic material called the mitochondrial DNA which is circular. The energy is generated from the glucose we take in by a process called the cellular respiration.
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum - The endoplasmic reticulum is a network for transportation of certain critical substances in and out of the nucleus.The endoplasmic reticulum is seen like a network of interconnecting pathways to enable the transport of molecules. There are two kinds of ER namely Rough ER and Smooth ER. Rough ER has ribosomes molecules attached to its surface while the smooth ER does not have ribosomes molecules attached to its surface.
4.Golgi Apparatus - The Golgi apparatus is involved with processing and packaging of the molecules synthesized by the cell mainly the proteins ready for secretion. The ER transports the proteins in their crude form to the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus packages the proteins developing them into primary, secondary and tertiary proteins respectively.
5. Ribosomes - The Ribosomes is involved in protein synthesis.It consists of two sub units.Protein synthesis primarily occurs in the ribosomes. The ribosomes may be found freely floating in the cytoplasm or may be found attached to the ER.
6. Lysososmes - Lysososmes are referred to as suicide bags of the cell. They are involved in clearing the unwanted and waste materials from the cell. The lysososmes contain hydrolytic enzymes that are destructive. they kill the toxic materials of the cell time to time.They engulf materials like damaged organelles, virus, bacteria and food particles.
7. Vacuole - The vacuole is a large empty storage organelle. They store excess water or food. It is present in many numbers withing the cell floating in the cytoplasm.
Functions of the Animal Cell
The cells perform various activities with the aid of the many cell organelles. These cells function together as a unit and form tissue. group of similar cells form a Tissue for example Muscle tissue ( cluster of muscle cells ), A group of similar tissues join together to form an Organ for example stomach, Liver etc. A group of similarly functioning organs group together to form an organ system for example Digestive system, Respiratory system.
