they are joined to form molecules such as water‚ sugar‚ and protein. These molecules then combine and form macromolecules which make up the organelles. The organelles are tiny structures that determine the cell function of the organism. In the cellular level there are individual organelles defined by a specific purpose. The nucleus‚ for example‚ is an organelle that helps with the reproduction of cells. The following level of organization is the tissue function. During this process there are similar

nucleus‚ the mitochondrion‚ the chloroplast‚ and the endoplasmic reticulum. Nucleus- nonmembranous structure involved in production of ribosomes; a nucleus has one or more nuclueoli Mitochondrion- organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated Chloroplast- photosynthetic organelle; converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules Endoplasmic reticulum- network of membranous sacs and tubes; active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic

that prokaryotic cells are simple‚ small‚ and mostly unicellular whereas eukaryotic cells are more complex‚ big‚ and generally multi-cellular. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane enclosed nucleus and many small organelles in its cytoplasm while prokaryotic cells lack membrane enclosed organelles of specialized form and function and a nucleus. Furthermore in a prokaryotic cell‚ DNA is not separated by a membrane bound nucleus; instead the DNA is concentrated in a region called the nucleoid. Another difference

membrane encased organelles‚ which means the DNA in prokaryotes is not bound with a nucleus. In the eukaryotes‚ DNA is organized into chromosomes‚ which is surrounded by a membrane. According to Dr Lynn Margulis (2005)‚ she states that the origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts which are organelles of eukaryotic cells. This means that the mitochondria and chloroplasts were prokaryotic cells‚ which entered the eukaryotic cells and co-existed through endosymbiosis. There are many organelles inside a eukaryote

cell is quite different. An animal cell is a round‚ uneven shape‚ whereas the Plant cell has an affixed shape. They have a more of a rectangular shape. Chloroplast‚ Vacuole and the Cell wall are only found in Plant cells. The Chloroplast is the organelle for the whole system of Photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells (which are found in the leaves) of green plants. They convert light into energy; therefore the energy is the plant’s food. The chemical in Chloroplast is called ‘Chlorophyll’;

nucleus in which the chromosomes are found. There is also another type of cell which is a called a prokaryotic cell‚ this cell lacks a membrane bound nucleus. The difference between these two cells is that Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles‚ such as the nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells do not. Cells are the main building blocks of all living organisms. The human body is collected of tons of cells which provide structure for the body‚ take in nutrients from food‚ transform those nutrients

some organelles are descendants of free- living prokaryotic organisms that came to inhabit larger cells. Present day prokaryotes are similar to fossil prokaryotes‚ some of which are 3500 million years old. By comparison‚ the earliest eukaryote cells date back only 1000 million years. Thus eukaryotes must have evolved‚ surrounded by prokaryotes that were long-established organisms. It is possible that‚ in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell‚ prokaryotic cells came to survive as organelles instead
