Compare The Structure And Functions Of Organelles In Eukaryotic Cells

First of all, the most important structure in the animal cell is the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the vital because it provides energy for the cell (Doc. 2). For example, without the mitochondria, organelles would function slowly because the cell has no energy (OI). In Document 3, it states “Breaking down the food and releasing’ energy” (Doc. 3). “The mitochondria are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell” (OI). According to Ms. Quitmeyer, the mitochondria is crucial to the animal cell, and

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell holds the majority of the cells DNA material, the nucleus is often referred to as the ‘control centre’ of the cell as it uses the DNA to direct all other activities within the cell.

The nucleolus is one of the most important organelles. This organelle is a eukaryotic cell. The nucleolus is not like most of the other organelles. Most other organelles have a static structure but the nucleolus does not. The structural components are chains of RNA and DNA. It contains granular and fibrillar components.

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

Second off we have the plant cell. The plant cell has chloroplasts unlike a animal cell (Doc.1). Chloroplasts hold

In Eukaryotic cells, organelles play a major part in function and maintenance. If parts of these organelles are not functioning properly, or at all, major issues could be caused within that cell.

P1 – Describe the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny, three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components, each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own, individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that I will be describing include the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi bodies, centrioles, endoplasmic reticulum (both smooth and rough) and ribosomes.

The largest organelle, the nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the vast majority of the cell’s DNA. The nucleus is considered the defining feature of a eukaryotic cell because its presence separates eukaryotes from the more ancient prokaryotic cell. The nucleus is often referred to as “the control center” of the cell because the DNA that it contains directs all aspects of cellular function (18). While most cells only have one nucleus, some cells (red blood cells) lack a nucleus and are therefore unable to divide and produce daughter cells. In humans, some types of skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei during their development; however multinucleated cells can also be associated with inflammation (19) and tumor development (20).

In plants the cell membrane is surrounded by a cell wall. The cell wall is outside the cell membrane, and its purpose is to help the membrane protect and support the cell. Since the cell wall is very porous, water, oxygen,

The parts of a cell are very similar to the fundamental basics of a factory. Each organelle plays a different role in the life of a cell. For instance, the nucleus of a cell is akin to a factory manager. As a manager leads all other elements of the factory, so does the nucleus make sure all the necessary operations within a cell are executed. The nucleus functions to oversee the cell’s various activities and contains the DNA—plans for production and factory blueprints—which dictates the jobs of other organelles, providing regulation within the cell. A cell’s cytoskeleton is the factory’s structure itself. Like the steel beams holding up the roof of a factory, the cytoskeleton provides all the necessary support for the other organelles to operate

We all know that the nucleus makes up the cell and is what makes the cell, but in my opinion, the organelle that is the most important to a eukaryotic cell is the ribosome. The ribosomes are just as important as the nucleus. Ribosomes are made up of RNA, they make proteins that are vital for our body and the cells that our body makes. Without proteins our body can’t survive, and neither can the cells that we make. The ribosomes are here to help with cell growth to ensure and without the help of the ribosomes, the cell can die because the cell is not producing proteins that body needs. The cell will need the proteins that the ribosome produces to keep functioning properly (Naora & Naora, 1999). For example, if we as humans don’t eat any foods

This is what allows prokaryotes to attach to other surfaces. Cytosol is a water like fluid found in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is inside the plasma membrane but outside the nucleus. The cell wall is made of polysaccharides just outside the plasma membrane and its made of cellulose. (Cundy, 2012) The plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell with a layer made of phospholipids. DNA is a double polymer of nucleotides that store genetic information. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid with a phosphate group of four nitrogenous bases which are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. The largest organelle is the nucleus. The nucleus contains DNA. The mitochondria have a double membrane and it is known for supplying energy to the cell. Ribosomes produce proteins. These ribosomes can be found in the cytosol of cells. The nucleolus is what makes ribosomes and RNA. Lysosomes have digestive enzymes. The endoplasmic reticulum is an inner membrane system that makes some proteins. (Cundy, 2012) There are two endoplasmic reticulum, one is rough and the other is smooth. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on it while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes on them. The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins to be taken out of the cell. The vacuole is storage for water and other nutrients a call may need and this is most commonly found in plant cells. The cytoskeleton shapes the cell wall and consists of protein
