Organelles are the functional subunits of the cell. Each organelle has a specific function which makes it easier to master the names, structure, and function of each component. In the following table, indicate the functions associated with each structure.
Organelles :
(a) Nucleus
(b) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
(c) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
(d) Golgi body
(e) Lysosomes
(g) Chloroplast
(f) Mitochondrion
(h) Peroxisomes
Organelles :
Organelle | Function |
(a) Nucleus | House of DNA, contains genetic information |
(b) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Site of protein synthesis |
(c) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Synthesis of lipids |
(d) Golgi body | Packaging and secretion of proteins and lipids. |
(e) Lysosomes | Digests the intracellular food particles and damaged materials. |
(g) Chloroplast | Kitchen of the cell as it makes food |
(f) Mitochondrion | The powerhouse of the cell |
(h) Peroxisomes | Oxidation of biomolecules and help in membrane synthesis |
