ANIMAL CELL

Cell is the structural and functional unit of

organisms.
CELL ORGANELLES AND THEIR
FUNCTIONS.

Cell membrane
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi complex
Lysosomes
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Cytoskeleton
Nucleus.
CELL MEMBRANE

The most important functions

of membrane is the transport
of molecules across it.The
membrane is selectively
permeable to some molecules
present on either side of it.
GOLGI COMPLEX

It performs the function of

packaging materials,to be delivered
either to the intra-cellular targets or
secreated outside the cell.The
sinthesised proteins are modified in
cisternae of Golgi complex.It is
important site of formation of
glycoproteins and glycolipids.
LYSOSOMES

These are membrane bound vesicular

structures formed by the process of
packaging in the Golgi complex.The
isolated lysosomal vesicles have been
found to be very rich in almost all types of
hydrolytic enzymes.optimally at acidic
pH.these enzymes are capable of digesting
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic
acids.
VACUOLES

It is the membrane bound space

found in the cytoplasm.It contains
water, excretory product and
other materials not useful for the
cell.
In Amoeba , vacuole is important
for excretion.
MITOCHONDRIA

They are the sites aerobic

respiration.They produce cellular
energy in the form of ATP,hence
they are called 'power houses' of
the cell.
It possesses single circular DNA
molecule,a rew RNA molecules,
ribosomes and the components
required for the synthesis of
proteins.
RIBOSOMES

They are composed of ribonucleic

acid and proteins and are not
surrounded by any membrane.It
involved in the process of synthesis
of proteins that is translation
process.
CYTOSKELETON

It is network of filamentous
proteinaceous structure.It
involved in many functions such
as mechanical support, motility,
maintenance of the shape of the
cell.
NUCLEUS

It is enclosed by nuclear
envelope,a double membrane
structure with nuclear pores.The
inner membrane encloses the
nucleoplasm and chromatin
material.It controls all functions of
cell.
