What are the different organelles that make up our cells? What are their functions? What organelles are the most numerous inside cells? What organelle is the powerhouse of the cell? Which organelles do eukaryoti
Organelles are small subcellular structures located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and in more complex eukaryotic cells, organelles are often enclosed by their own membrane. Each organelle performs a specialised function for that cell, much like an organ does for the body. Bey...
Ribosomes are organelles responsible for protein synthesis, a process that every cell must undertake to ensure the survival of the organism, whatever its overall size, shape and function. Each ribosome consists of a large subunit and a small subunit, both of which include ribosomal RNA (rRNA) a...
a cell'ssystemand witness first-hand the flow of chemicals and signals from one organelle to another. The result has been a greater understanding of the true spirit of cooperation that was the basis of theevolutionof theeukaryoticcell in the first place. As Lynn Margulis and her son wrote ...

Imagine that you found a cell that releases many proteins into the bloodstream. What organelles/structures might be especially active in the cell? Explain in sequence what each of these organelles/structures were doing up until the release of these protei ...
They can even both have a cell wall! Both cell types are also made up of organelles. Organelles are small structures that perform different jobs within a cell. The organelles within the cell determine the structure and function of a cell making the cell specialized. Cells being specialized is...
mitochondria that produce ATP. Your muscle cells need a lot of energy to keep your body moving. When your cells don’t get enough oxygen, they do not make a lot of ATP. Instead, the small amount of ATP they make in the absence of oxygen is accompanied by the production of lactic ...
The nucleus is a double membrane-bound structure that controls all cellular activity and serves as a storage and transfer centre for genetic resources. It is one of the big cell organelles, taking up 10% of the cell’s total space. It is known as the “brain of the cell” because it ...
One up to a few long whip – like extensions Whip around to move a cell Flagellum example: A SPERM CELL!!! Cilia and Flagella III. Nucleus Filled with Nucleoplasm Three main parts Surrounded by semi permeable membrane (Nuclear membrane/ envelope) Double mem. That surrounds the nucleus Has po...
