Flashcards
What is the function of mitochondria?
What is the function of mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
What organelle detoxifies harmful substances?
What organelle detoxifies harmful substances?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) acts as a detox center, removing harmful substances from the cell.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus sorts, modifies, and packages proteins to be delivered to different parts of the cell or secreted outside.
Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Their Functions
- Mitochondria: Generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from glucose
- Detoxification: The organelle responsible for detoxifying harmful substances in a cell is the Lysosome
- Golgi Apparatus: Primary function is to process and modify proteins and lipids synthesized by the Endoplasmic Reticulum, then package them for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside the cell
