A cellular organelle is a structure in the cell that performs a specific function.
Nucleus - stores cell's DNA; DNA replication occurs here
Ribosome - produce protein; "factories" of the cell
Mitochondria - breaks down food for energy to be used by the cell; "powerhouse" of the cell
Vacuole - store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals, and waste products
Endoplasmic reticulum - carry materials throughout the cell; "transport system"
Answer: A scenario often presented to introductory physics classes is that of a "gravity tunnel" — a tube drilled from one side of the Earth to the other through the planet's center. The answer taught for nearly a half-century for how long a fall through such a hole would take was about 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
Explanation: However, solar and lunar gravity, which also perturb orbiting satellites, would eventually pull you into the tunnel wall anyway [source: Darling ]. Strike a chord: Fun fact: A straight line from any point to any other point through the planet would take the same amount of time to fall through like a tunnel through Earth's center.
