Answer to Question #324702 in Cell Biology for Jasmine

Question

Make a list of the membranous organelles of a eukaryotic cell and describe the function of each (8 marks )

Answer 1

they include nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, mitochondria,

Before cell secretions (proteins) are ready to leave the cell, the Golgi Apparatus gives them one more polish.

Lysosomes play an important role in phagocytosis, or the process of engulfing and breaking down foreign particles that enter the cell.

In both animal and plant cells, vacuoles are primarily involved in storage.

Ribosome synthesize proteins.

The endoplasmic reticulum allows for large-scale protein production.

Mitochondria have a role in the creation of ATP.

The nucleus stores DNA and directs the production of ribosomes and proteins.
