Functions of 15 organelles of a cell:
Here are the functions of 15 organelles of a cell:
- Plasma Membrane: The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell
- Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is a gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains all the organelles.
- Nucleus: The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material and regulates gene expression
- Endoplasmic Reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell
- Mitochondria: Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration
- Plastids: Plastids are organelles found only in plant cells that are involved in photosynthesis and storage
- Ribosomes: Ribosomes are organelles that synthesize proteins
- Golgi Apparatus: The Golgi apparatus is a stack of membranes that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport
- Microbodies: Microbodies are organelles that contain enzymes involved in metabolic processes
- Cytoskeleton: The cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers that provides structural support to the cell and helps with cell movement
- Cilia and Flagella: Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell and are involved in movement
- Centrosome and Centrioles: The centrosome is an organelle involved in cell division, while centrioles are cylindrical structures within the centrosome that help with cell division .
- Vacuoles: Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs that store water, nutrients, and waste products
- Lysosomes: Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes involved in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris
- Peroxisomes: Peroxisomes are organelles that contain enzymes involved in breaking down fatty acids and amino acids, as well as detoxifying harmful substances
