Question
an interconnected series of tubes in the cytoplasm is called the
endoplasmic reticulum
centrioles
golgi body
mitochondria
Brief Explanations
- Endoplasmic reticulum: It is an interconnected series of tubes (cisternae) in the cytoplasm. There are two types - rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (without ribosomes). It is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, and also in intracellular transport.
- Centrioles: These are cylindrical structures composed of microtubules. They play a role in cell division (formation of spindle fibers in animal cells).
- Golgi body: It consists of flattened sacs (cisternae). Its main function is to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
- Mitochondria: Known as the "powerhouse of the cell", they are double - membrane - bound organelles. They are involved in cellular respiration and ATP production.
