Question

Skeletal muscle cells essentially engage in large shape changes to pull on bones to create movement. To do this shape change, skeletal muscle cells require a lot of energy and the production of a lot of protein used inside the cell to make the structures that change the shape. Name 3 organelles that would be important in this function (one for each function).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The mitochondrion : is an organelle that makes energy available to the cell. They use energy from organic compounds (such as glucose) to make molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

2) Ribosomes: are small structures where proteins are made. Both subunits consist of proteins and RNA. RNA from the nucleus carries the genetic code, copied from DNA, which remains in the nucleus. At the ribosome, the genetic code in RNA is used to assemble and join together amino acids to make proteins. Ribosomes can be found alone or in groups within the cytoplasm, as well as on the RER.

3) Cytoskeleton: is the “frame” of the cell, keeping structures in place, providing support, and giving the cell a definite shape.The cytoskeleton organizes the cell and keeps the cell’s organelles in place, but it also aids in the movement of organelles throughout the cell.
