CELL ORGANELLES AND

ITS FUNCTION
Nucleus
- The nucleus provides a site for
genetic transcription that is segregated from
the location of translation in the cytoplasm,
allowing levels of gene regulation that are
not available to prokaryotes.
-The main function of the cell nucleus is to
control gene expression and mediate the
replication of DNA during the cell cycle.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND
ITS FUNCTION
Nuclear membrane
- The nuclear membrane is a barrier that physically
protects the cell’s DNA from the chemical
reactions that are occurring elsewhere in the cell.
- It also manages what materials can enter and exit
the nucleus.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Nuclear Pores
- is a protein-lined channel in the
nuclear envelope that regulates the
transportation of molecules between the
nucleus and the cytoplasm.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND
ITS FUNCTION
Mitochondria
- A membrane-bound organelle found in
the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells, the primary
function of which is to generate large quantities of
energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). 
- In addition to producing energy, mitochondria
store calcium for cell signaling activities, generate heat,
and mediate cell growth and death. 
 CELL ORGANELLES AND
ITS FUNCTION
Cytoplasm
- The cytoplasm acts as a buffer and
protects the genetic material of
the cell and also the cellular organelles
from damage caused due to movement
and collision with other cells.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Chromosomes
- The chromosome holds not only
the genetic code, but many of the
proteins responsible for helping
express it. Its complex form and
structure dictate how often genes
can be translated into proteins, and
which genes are translated.
CELL ORGANELLES AND
ITS FUNCTION
Centrioles
- Centrioles play a role in
organizing microtubules that serve
as the cell's skeletal system.
-They help determine the locations
of the nucleus and other organelles
within the cell.
CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Lysosomes
- Lysosomes function as the digestive
system of the cell, serving both to
degrade material taken up from outside
the cell and to digest obsolete
components of the cell itself.
CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- It also plays an important role in
modulating the response of cell to
stress and in quality control for
correct protein folding. 
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- The smooth ER is important in the
synthesis of lipids, such as cholesterol and
phospholipids, which form all the
membranes of the organism. 
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for
transporting, modifying, and
packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles
 for delivery to targeted destinations. 
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Cytoskeleton
- The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps
cells maintain their shape and internal
organization, and it also provides mechanical
support that enables cells to carry out essential
functions like division and movement.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Cell membrane
to be a barrier keeping the constituents of
the cell in and unwanted substances out
to be a gate allowing transport into the cell
of essential nutrients and movement from
the cell of waste products.
Cell membranes protect and organize cells.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Ribosomes
- Assume the role of bringing together
amino acids to form particular proteins
which are important for completing the
cell’s activities.
 CELL ORGANELLES AND ITS
FUNCTION
Vesicles
- Vesicles store and transport materials with the cell.
Some of these materials are transported to other
organelles; other materials are secreted from the cell.
Most vesicles are involved in transporting some sort
of molecules, such as a hormone or neurotransmitter.
- Transport vesicles play a central role in the traffic
of molecules between different membrane-enclosed
compartments of the secretory pathway.
