(a) Golgi apparatus

(b) Mitochondria

Open in App
Solution

(a) Golgi apparatus consists of a set of membrane-bounded, fluid filled vesicles, vacuoles and flattened cisternae. Cisternae are usually stacked together (placed one above the other) in parallel rows. Golgi apparatus exists as an extensive network near the nucleus in the animal cells. However, the plant cells contain many freely distributed subuints of Golgi apparatus, called dictyosomes.

The Golgi apparatus arises from the membrane of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which in turn originates from the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

(b) The mitochondria are tiny bodies of varying shapes and size. Each mitochondria is bounded by a double membrane envelope. Outer membranes is porous. The inner membrane is thrown into folds. These folds are called cristae and are studded with small rounded bodies known as F1 particles or oxysomes. The interior cavity of the mitochondria is filled with a proteinaceous matrix which contains a few small-sized ribosomes, a circular DNA molecule and phosphate granules.
