Question

name the 16 cell organelles with their photos,structure,discovery,functions

Answer 1

nucleus

-"brain"
-genetic control center
-houses, holds DNA

nucleolus

-contains RNA for cell
-ribosomes formed here

nuclear membrane (envelope)

-allows RNA to exit
-DNA NEVER leave the nucleus


cell (plasma) membrane

-selectively permeable
-controls what enters/exits the cell

cytoplasm

holds/suspends organelles

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

-makes lipids
-filters toxins
-releases calcium
-regulates calcium ions

rough endoplasmic reticulum

-makes proteins
-packages proteins
-makes more membranes (Phospholipid bilayer)

golgi complex (apparatus) (body)

-modifies, stores, ships products of the ER
-like lipids and proteins

ribosomes

makes proteins

mitochondria

-makes ATP
-cellular respiration
-coverts glucose to ATP

food vacuole
central vacuole
contractile vacuole
