eukaryotic cell structure

• Mitochondria function as the powerhouses of the cell, producing energy (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.
• The function of vacuoles in a cell is to store water, nutrients, and waste materials.
• The basic unit of life is the cell.
• The function of lysosomes in a cell is to break down and recycle cellular waste.
• The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein synthesis and lipid metabolism in a cell.
• The basic unit of life is the cell.
• The rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein synthesis and lipid metabolism in a cell.
• The Golgi apparatus in a cell functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations within the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.
• what is the function of the nucleus?

  ? central control centre of the eukaryotic cell which is responsible for maninging the cells genetic information- nuclear pores allow mRNA and ribosomes to pass through
• What is the function of the nucleolus?

  a spherical structure, whose primary function is to produce and reassemble the cells ribosomes. Also where ribosomal RNA genes are transcribed
• function of ER (rough)?

  provides a large surface area for protein synthesis
• function of ER (smooth)?

  site of synthesis, storage and transport of lipids and carbohydrates
• function of the cell surface membrane?

  controls diffusion of substances in the cell, site of cell communication via receptors
• The function of mitochondria in a cell is to produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
• The nucleolus is responsible for the production and assembly of ribosomes in a cell.
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's DNA and regulating gene expression.
• The function of ribosomes in a cell is to synthesize proteins.
• The function of lysosomes in a cell is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris.
• The function of vacuoles in a cell is to store water, nutrients, and waste materials. As well as maintain the cells structure
• The Golgi apparatus in a cell functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations.
• The cell surface membrane functions to regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell and to provide structural support. Site of communication via receptors
• The basic unit of life is the cell.
• The function of the cell wall in a plant cell is to provide structural support and protection.
• The cell membrane functions to regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell and to provide protection and support for the cell.
• The function of chloroplasts in a plant cell is to carry out photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy for the plant.
• What is the function of chromatin in a cell?

  package long DNA monomers into more compact, denser structures.
• Glycoproteins


  Proteins with carbohydrate molecules attached to them, synthesized in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).
• Secretory Proteins


  Proteins destined to be secreted outside the cell, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, synthesized in the RER.
• Transmembrane Proteins


  Proteins that span the cell membrane and play important roles in cell signaling, transport, and structure, synthesized in the RER.
• Intracellular Proteins


  Proteins that remain within the cell and participate in various cellular processes, such as protein degradation, mRNA processing, and cell signaling, synthesized in the RER.
