Description: Meiosis involves cell division, which results in the formation of four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes compared to the single parent.

Question

Name the various cell organelles and list their functions.

Accepted Answer

List of various cell organelles found in eukaryotic cells, along with their functions:

Nucleus: The control centre of the cell, it contains chromosome that contain DNA.

Mitochondria: It is known as the "powerhouses" of the cell, they produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Involved in protein synthesis and modification.

Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Complex): Processes, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids for transport within or outside the cell.

Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign invaders; involved in cellular digestion and recycling.

Vacuoles (Plant Cells): Store water, nutrients, and waste products; maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Chloroplasts (Plant Cells): Site of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy (glucose) and oxygen production.

Ribosomes: Responsible for protein synthesis by translating genetic information into proteins.

Cytoskeleton: Provides structural support, shape, and assists in cellular movement and intracellular transport.

Plasma Membrane (Cell Membrane): Separates the cell from its environment; regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
