Question

List each organelle, where you found it in the cell, and what its primary function is.

Answer 1

Animal cell organelles:

Cell Membrane: Where? It is and forms the outside of a cell. Purpose? Keeping unwanted substances out and being the transport of essential nutrients.

Nucleus: Where? On the left side of the cell. Purpose? Controls and regulates the activities of the cell.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Where? Adjacent to the cell nucleus. Purpose? production and control of some proteins.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Where? Near the cell periphery. Purpose? involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids.

Ribosomes: Where? In the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. Purpose? Works as a micro-machine to make proteins.

Mitochondria: Where? In the cytoplasm of cells. Purpose? Breaks down glucose to produce energy for the cells survival.

Golgi body: Where? In the eukaryotic cells. Purpose? Responsible for transporting and packing proteins and lipids into vesicles.

Lysosomes: Where? Bud from the membrane of Golgi apparatus. Purpose? Contains digestive enzymes and break down worn out cell parts.

Plant cell organelles:

Cell membrane: Where? Between the cytoplasm and the cell wall. Purpose? controls entry and exit from the cell and allows plant cells to regulate oxygen, sugars, enzymes, etc.

Nucleus: Where? In the central region of the cell. Purpose? Stores the cells DNA and coordinates the cells activity.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Where? Adjacent to the cells nucleus. Purpose? Produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Where? Evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Purpose? Make cellular products like lipids.

Ribosomes: Where? In the cytosol. Purpose? A micro-machine for making proteins.

Mitochondria: Where? In the cytoplasm of cells. Purpose? Main source of energy for each cell.

Golgi body: Where? In the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum. Pupose? delivering proteins and lipids to destinations.

Lysosomes: Where? they are only found in some plants, not sure exactly where they are. Purpose? degrading old material.

Cell wall: Where? Between the plasma membrane and the cuticle. Purpose? provides strength and protection against stress.

Chloropast: Where? Found in green tissues. Purpose? This is where energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for the plants growth.

Vacuole: Where? Within the cytoplasm of a cell. Purpose? Used as storage, waste, protection, and growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uh this took a while.

I like the other persons answer, this just has both the where and purpose? for each and this is how I did mine.

I hope it can help so have a purrrfect day!
