Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Their Functions
- The main function of the mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell through a process called cellular respiration.
- The primary function of the ribosomes is to synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into a specific sequence of amino acids.
- The nucleus is the organelle responsible for storing genetic material in a eukaryotic cell, where it is organized into linear chromosomes.
