Question

  1. what is the function of each of the following cell structures: cell membrane, golgi apparatus, chloroplast, cell wall, mitochondria, ribosome

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Cell Membrane: Regulates substance entry/exit, protects the cell.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, packages proteins/lipids.
  • Chloroplast: Conducts photosynthesis (in plant cells) to make glucose.
  • Cell Wall: Provides structure, support, protection (in plant/fungal/bacterial cells).
  • Mitochondria: Produces ATP (energy) via cellular respiration.
  • Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins (translation).

Answer:

  • Cell Membrane: Regulates what enters and exits the cell, protects the cell.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.
  • Chloroplast: Performs photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) (in plant cells).
  • Cell Wall: Provides structural support, protection, and maintains cell shape (in plant, fungal, and bacterial cells).
  • Mitochondria: Generates ATP (energy) through cellular respiration.
  • Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins (by translating mRNA into polypeptide chains).
