Cell Wall: The cell wall is composed of cellulose, this sugar is used as structure and protection. This organelle is only found in plants. The cell wall has three layers the middle lamella, primary cell wall, and secondary cell wall. The middle lamella contains a polysaccharide that binds cells to one another. The primary cell wall contains sugars and fibers that give the flexibility and strength needed for cell growth. The secondary cell wall contains sugar, fiber, and lignin; lignin aids in water conductivity and …show more content…
This organelle is like a stomach it breaks down sugars, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids. Lysosomes also kill the bacteria and get rid of leftover cellular waste. These are also in charge of repairing the plasma membrane and cell signaling.
Chloroplast: This is the food producer in the cell. This organelle is only found in plant, photosynthesis takes place in this organelle. The oxygen that the chloroplast releases is the oxygen you breathe.
Mitochondria: This is known as the powerhouse of the cell. These are made of two membranes(where the chemical reaction occurs) and a matrix(where the fluid is held). The main function of this organelle is to perform cellular respiration.
Cytoskeleton: This gives the cell its shape, helps move materials in and out of the cell, and holds all the organelles in place. Cytoskeleton controls the movement of the cell’s organelles. The cytoskeleton has three parts to it the microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The microfilaments are the smallest part and are helically shaped. Intermediate filaments twist around each other forming a cord. The microtubules are stronger proteins that are hollow and long
