what is the main function of following cell component:-
(a) Plasma membrane (d) Mitochondria
(b) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (e) Lysosomes
(c) Ribosomes (f) Golgi apparatus
Answers
a) Plasma membrane : Plasma membrane protects the cell from outer unknown particles as it is selectively permeable and let only some ions pass in and out of it .
b) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) : It synthesise and stores lipids , metabolise calcium ion and plays important role in membrane biogenesis.
c) Ribosomes: Ribosomes may be free or attached to the surface of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum . Its main function is the formation of protein , the building block of the cell .
d) Mitochondria : It is called the powerhouse of the cell as it generates energy in the form of ATP .
e) Lysosome : It is also called suicidal bag of the cell . They contain enzyme that remove waste from the cell and help it digest .
f) Golgi apparatus : This organelle is responsible for transporting , modifying and packaging proteins and lipids .
