Module 1: Cells as the basics of the life

• Function of the Golgibodies


  • Golgibodies also knows as the Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins
• Function of the Nucleus


  • The nucleus contains the genetic instructions for cell replication, growth, repair and function
• Function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum


  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum processes and modifies proteins such as pancreatic cells which secrete digestive enzymes
• Function of the Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

  • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesises lipids, includes the enzymes contained in the synthesis of molecules
• Function of Mitochondria

  • The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Where cellular respiration occurs through ATP(Adenine triphosphate), converting chemical energy from food(organic molecules) into energy that cells can use.
• Function of Lysosomes

  • Lysosomes digest cellular waste materials such as damaged organelles and foreign matter
• Function of the cell membrane

  • The cell membrane also known as the plasma membrane controls the exchange of material between internal and external environments of the cell. Only certain molecules and ions are allowed in and out.
• Function of the Cell wall

  • The cell wall is the cell structure and acts as protection.
• Function of Chloroplast

  • Chloroplast is a plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
  • Using light energy, carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose.
• Function of the Vacuole

  • The Vacuole helps stores and disposal substances within the cell.
• Function of a Cytoplasm

  • The cytoplasm is responsible for its cell shape and stores molecules required for cellular processes
