Parts:

1. The function of lysosomes is to remove waste as well as destroying a cell after it has died, called
autolysis. A lysosome is an organelle containing digestive enzymes which it uses to function as
the digestion and waste removal for cells, food particles, bacteria, etc. Definition of a Lysosome:
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles which are found in animal cells. These are tiny sacs
filled with fluid containing enzymes
2. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like
a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich
molecules for the cell. Definition: Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles enclosed by a
double membrane.

3. Centriole Function : The main function of a centriole is to help chromosomes move inside the
cell. The centrioles’ location depends on whether or not the cell is going through division.
Centriole Definition
A centriole is a small structure made of microtubules which exists as part of the centrosome, which
helps organize microtubules in the body. A centriole is the main unit that creates and anchors
microtubules in the cell.

4. Function: The microscopic microvilli effectively increase the surface area of the cell and are
useful for absorption and secretion functions.
Definition: Folds of the cell membrane that extends outward form the surface of certain cells

5. Def: Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are polymers of the protein actin that are part of
a cell’s cytoskeleton. Funct: Microfilaments are very versatile cell components that serve a role in
cytokinesis, movement, and changes in cell shape. The strong but flexible arrangement of the
microfilaments' framework allows it to help with cellmovement.

6. Def:Microtubules are fibrous, hollow rods that function primarily to help support and shape
the cell.
Funct: Microtubules have many more jobs than just giving support to the cell. The microtubules also
play a very important role during cell division.

7. intermediate filaments is to provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane where it
comes into contact with other cells or with the extracellular matrix. DEf: ntermediate
filaments are a primary component of the cytoskeleton, although they are not found in all
eukaryotes, and are absent in fungi and plants [1].
8. def: Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles in most eukaryotic cells, primarily involved in
lipid metabolism and the conversion of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide into
safer molecules like water and oxygen. Function: Peroxisomes absorb nutrients that the cell has
acquired. They are very well known for digesting fatty acids. They also play a part in the way
organisms digest alcohol (ethanol).
9. Golgi apparatus: A major organelle in most eukaryotic cells is the structure of membrane-bound
sacs called the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body, Golgi complex, dictyosome). It acts to process and
package the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell.
10. Function of Ribosomes. Ribosomes are a cell structure that makes protein. Def: Ribosomes are
important cell organelle. Aribosome is a large complex of RNA and protein. It does RNA
translation, building proteins from amino acids using messenger RNA as a template.
11. Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), series of connected flattened sacs, part of a
continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role
in the synthesis of proteins. Func: Rough endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle found
in eukaryotic cells. Its main function is to produce proteins.
12. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which does not
have ribosomes bound to it, thus not exhibiting the bumpy appearance shown by the rough
endoplasmic reticulum. Func: Smooth ER is devoted almost exclusively to the manufacture of
lipids and in some cases to the metabolism of them and associated products.
13. The cytosol, by definition, is the fluid in which organelles of the cell reside Cytosol is the site
for metabolic processes such as glycolysis occur; in prokaryotecell all of the metabolic processes
carry out there. .
14. Nucleolus :The nucleolus is a structure found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Processing
of rRNA molecules and ribosomal subunits occurs within the nucleolus.
15. the function of chromatin is to efficiently package DNA into a small volume to fit into the
nucleus of a cell and protect the DNA structure and sequence. Chromatin is a complex
of DNA and protein found in eukaryotic cells.
16. The nuclear envelope is the double-layered membrane surrounding the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple
pores. The pores regulate the passage of macromolecules like proteins and RNA, but
permit free passage of water, ions, ATP and other small molecules.
17. The Nucleus controls all the activities of the cell and acts as the information centre. The nucleus of
a eukaryotic cell contains the DNA, the genetic material of the cell.
18. A plasma membrane encapsulates each and every cell, and is also known as the cell membrane. It acts
as a selective barrier which is necessary to allow different concentrations of substances to be
maintained between the cell and it's environment.
19. The vacuole in cells have three main functions which are to provide the plant with support
or rigidity, a storage area for nutrients and waste matter and can decompose complex
molecules, A vacuole is an organelle in cells which functions to hold various
solutions or materials.
20. Centrosomes are structures found inside of cells. They are made from two centrioles.
Centrioles are microtubule rings. The main purpose of a centrosomeis to organize
microtubules and provide structure for the cell, as well as work to pull chromatids apart
during cell division.
21. The secretory vesicle is a vesicle that mediates the vesicular transport of cargo - e.g.
hormones or neurotransmitters - from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane,
where it docks and fuses to release its content. The function of vesicles are organelles,
and the small enclosed sacs that comprise them can transport and store substances
within a cell from one cell to another. They have a lipid bilayer, which separates the
contents of the vesicle from the rest of the cell, from the cytoplasm and its contents.
