Why Do You Think Every Cell Contains Organelles
Explain.
Every cell contains organelles, the structures that carry out their specific functions. Organelles are also known as cell compartments. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities takes place. The organelles of the prokaryotes are not membrane bound and are simpler structures. Just like organs, each organelle contributes in its own way to help the cell function well as a whole. The organelles are endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, mitochondrian, nucleus, chloroplast, vacuole, endosome, lysosome and peroxisome. If one of the organelles n the cell does not function well, it will give impacts towards the cell, especially the most important organelle like nucleus.
The cell nucleus is a double membrane‐bound organelle that contains the genetic information of the cell packaged in the form of chromatin. The nucleus is a characteristic feature of most eukaryotic cell (Kannanganattu and Vidisha 2006). It contains the genetic material, the DNA, which is responsible for controlling and directing all the activities of the cell. All the RNAs needed for the cell are synthesized in the nucleus. The nucleolus within the nucleus is the site for RNA synthesis as well as DNA …show more content…
Mitochondria produce a body’s essential energy to almost all the cells in the body. When the mitochondria do not function well, some of the functions in the body will work abnormally. No energy produced will cause fatigue and muscle soreness. There is a gradation of effects like ‘black out’ when the body has a problem with energy supply. Mitochondrial disease mostly affects the brain, heart and muscles in varying level of severity. The examples of the symptoms are poor growth, mental retardation, diabetes and respiratory disorders. But it depends on which cells of the body affected. The better known diseases which are related to mitochondrial malfunction are Autism, Parkinson’s, and
