8 Cell Organelles

For a plant cell, the nucleus, without a doubt, is the most important organelle; but in the animal cell, the most vital structure is the mitochondria.

Nucleus – The nucleus is the largest organelle in the cell. It acts as the control system for almost all the activities of the cell. It stores the cell 's hereditary material, or DNA

Analyze the anatomical structure of ten different organelles in the cell and their respective functions.

The main function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum is to produce, store and transport proteins and lipid to most of the cell organelles. The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a large organelle that looks like sheets of folded membranes.

Nearly all animal cells have a nucleus, with the only exception being the red blood cell. The nucleus has two major functions, which are housing the DNA and controlling the cell’s activities. In the centre of the nucleus is the nucleolus. This doesn’t have a membrane, but holds itself together. In the nucleolus, ribosomes are created through the mixture of RNA and proteins. These proteins are originally found in the cytoplasm, outside the nucleus, but they travel through the pores in the nuclear envelope, through the chromatin and into the nucleolus. The structure of the nucleolus allows easy

Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus which produces ribosomes. The ribosomes then transport out of the nucleolus and to the rough endoplasmic reticulum for a process called protein synthesis. (Plant Cell Anatomy, n.d.)

A cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell. It is like a gate in a city because it regulates who comes in and goes out of the city. A nucleus is the control center of the cell. It is like a police department because the police control how everyone and everything acts. A ribosome synthesizes proteins for the cell. A ribosome is like a factory that produces stuff for construction workers. The ER synthesizes lipid membranes and proteins and transports stuff. It is like a manufacturing plant because it makes stuff just like the ER.

Next, SMS and cells have “ribosomes.” The function of the ribosome is to make proteins for the cell. The school has several cooks. They make food (and proteins) for students.

I am an education major and I want to own my own daycare one day. I am going to use a daycare to demonstrate the different organelles. Golgi apparatus is like the cook in a daycare. The cook and the Golgi apparatus both transfers proteins. Ribosomes are like food because ribosomes proved protein to that cell just like how food give humans protein. The Cytoplasm is like the building of the daycare. The Cytoplasm holds all of the objects in the cell, and the building holds everything in the daycare together. The Nucleus is like an office because, the nucleus hold all of the information just like an office. The Cell Membrane is like an outlet cover it stop the kids from putting their hands inside of the outlets It is away the teachers can know

The organelle I have chosen is the cell wall. The analogy I will use is that the cell wall is like city/border wall. The wall allows for physical structure and also the ability to let things cross through its walls, such as other living organisms or inorganic products. The border/city wall has the choice to allow these things to pass or not to pass through this checkpoint. The ability to reject certain things from crossing allows the city (cell) to protect itself from contamination or pollution.

A cell organelle is a membrane bound compartment inside all eukaryotic cells that function in a variety of important cellular processes. Organelles include the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and the mitochondria. It is important to know information about organelles because they provide understanding of how the body functions everyday. In this experiment, cells are broken up and the cellular components are separated on the basis of size, mass, and density using a variety of centrifugation techniques (Lodish). Cell components of different densities, cell fractions, are isolated and analyzed to find the organelle’s function within the cell.

In order for cells and organisms to “live” they need to perform certain tasks such as produce energy through respiration, send messages, maintenance and reproduction. To enable the cell to do so, it contains within small structures called organelles, each organelle is different and carries out a specific function.

In the beginning of the article, the writer describes the main function of lysosomes and how lysosomes relate to other organelles in other types of cells. In the writer’s words, “Lysosomes are found in animal cells...In plant and fungal cells, a similar type of function is carried out inside vacuoles”(p. 1).

This organelle is small round organelles and are not made of membrane and are made up of protein and RNA. This is an important organelle as the cell requires this to make proteins.

Organelles are the internal structures of the cell that are important for the cell to survive. Each organelle has a specific function for the cell. The types of organelles in the cell can be different from each other depending on the type of cell. Plant cells and animal cells both have a cytoskeleton, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, nucleus, plasma membrane, and ribosomes. Animal and plant cells also have vacuoles, but they are rarely found in animal cells. Vacuoles in animal cells are very small compared to the vacuoles in plant cells. Lysosomes are also rarely found in plant cells but mostly found in animal cells.
