    are many questions frequently asked in the field of microbiology, one being which eukaryotic organelle is the most crucial to the function of living organisms. Whilst all organelles are essential to eukaryotes, undoubtedly the nucleus is the most important. Yet, many argue that the mitochondrion or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are equally if not more important to cellular function. Although both organelles have similarities with the nucleus and work with it to complete various functions it is evidential

    8 Cell Organelles

    When creating my game I included 8 organelles that are found in the cell. One of these organelles is the nucleus. The nucleus is a large membrane-enclosed structure that contains genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many of the cell’s activities. The job of the nucleus is to protect the DNA and the RNA from anything outside the nucleus. Another organelle is the ribosome. Ribosomes are small particle of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells. The ribosome is responsible

    class has probably heard of or made an analogy to the Cell Organelles. I will be making an analogy about how the cell organelles are just like the imaginary movie land called “Whoville”. In the cell the one organelle that keeps everything in order in the cell is the Nucleus. For the analogy of the Nucleus I will be using the mayor of Whoville. The mayor keeps order and everyone will follow what he says, just like the Nucleus. Another organelle that has an analogy is the “Mitochondria”. The Mitochondria

    The Structure and Function of Cell Organelles Cells are surrounded with a boundary known as the cell surface membrane and as well as holding the cell together, being semi-permeable, it controls the movement of materials across it. Within the cell are a number of structures each which have specific functions. These structures are known as organelles. The cell surface membrane and the membranes of any of the membrane bound organelles described below are made of the same material, a double layer of

    ant Cell Organelle Primary Functions 1. Smooth ER The main function of the smooth Ers to make cellular products like hormones and lipids. 2. Plasmodesmata The most important function of plasmodesmata is to connect cells together to facilitate water transport. 3. Mitochondria The main function of mitochondria is to metabolize or break down carbohydrates and fatty acids in order to generate energy. 4. Cell Wall The cell wall of plants maintains the shape of plant cells, supports/strengthens plants

    The largest organelle, the nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the vast majority of the cell’s DNA. The nucleus is considered the defining feature of a eukaryotic cell because its presence separates eukaryotes from the more ancient prokaryotic cell. The nucleus is often referred to as “the control center” of the cell because the DNA that it contains directs all aspects of cellular function (18). While most cells only have one nucleus, some cells (red blood cells) lack a nucleus and

    Organelles are the internal structures of the cell that are important for the cell to survive. Each organelle has a specific function for the cell. The types of organelles in the cell can be different from each other depending on the type of cell. Plant cells and animal cells both have a cytoskeleton, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, nucleus, plasma membrane, and ribosomes. Animal and plant cells also have vacuoles, but they are rarely found in animal cells

    The cytoskeleton is the most important organelle. Without it in place, all the other organelles inside the cell would be randomly floating around with no sense of order. This would make the cell's job much harder and could create multiple different outcomes, since the cells would not have the same organelles in the same areas. The cytoskeleton keeps all the other organelles in the cell and in the proper areas. The cytoskeleton also anchors the cell to its neighboring cell and to the protein network

    Part 1 The organelle I have chosen is the cell wall. The analogy I will use is that the cell wall is like city/border wall. The wall allows for physical structure and also the ability to let things cross through its walls, such as other living organisms or inorganic products. The border/city wall has the choice to allow these things to pass or not to pass through this checkpoint. The ability to reject certain things from crossing allows the city (cell) to protect itself from contamination or pollution
