Understand the Problem

The question is asking to label the organelles of the cell and describe the function of each organelle presented in the image.

Answer

The cell organelles include nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, ribosomes, and more, with functions like energy production and protein synthesis.

The cell diagram shows different organelles and their functions:

  1. Nucleus: Contains genetic material (DNA).
  2. Nuclear pore: Allows exchange of materials between nucleus and cytoplasm.
  3. Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes.
  4. Chromatin: DNA and protein complex.
  5. Mitochondrion: Generates energy (ATP).
  6. Vacuole: Stores nutrients and waste products.
  7. Ribosomes: Protein synthesis.
  8. Lysosome: Digests cellular waste.
  9. Golgi apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins.
  10. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Synthesizes lipids.
  11. Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Synthesizes proteins.
  12. Cytoplasm: Gel-like fluid where organelles reside.
  13. Cell membrane/Plasma membrane: Protective barrier of the cell.
  14. Cell wall: Provides structure in plant cells.
  15. Chloroplast: Conducts photosynthesis in plant cells.
  16. Centrioles: Involved in cell division in animal cells.
  17. Microtubules: Provide structural support, help in intracellular transport.
  18. Secretory vesicle: Transports materials to the cell surface.

Understanding cell organelles and their functions helps in grasping how cells operate as the basic units of life.

Tips

Avoid confusing organelle functions; for instance, lysosomes are sometimes mixed up with vacuoles. Remember that plant cells have additional structures like chloroplasts and cell walls.
