Question

Match the organelles to their functions.

Answer 1

Answer:

I. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

II. Golgi apparatus.

III. Lysosomes.

IV. Nucleus.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves. In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles.

Some examples of cell organelles with their respective functions in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include;

1. Nucleus : it controls all the activities taking place in the cell and the synthesis of proteins. Thus, it's the organelle that commands other organelles.

2. Mitochondria : it provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms.

3. Lysosomes : they are responsible for absorbing materials and breaking the materials taken in by the cells. Thus, it digests foreign material.

4. Chromosomes : they give sets of instructions for the synthesis of products.

5. Ribosomes : they are involved in the build up of proteins.

6. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum : this is where the ribosomes perform their tasks. Thus, it produces lipids and fats.

7. Cytoskeleton : they help to maintain and support the shape of the cells.

8. Vesicles : they ensure proteins are properly transported to the right and exact location.

9. Golgi apparatus : it prepares the protein for export by chemically tagging them. Also, this organelle produces lysosomes.

10. Cell membrane : is the wall of the cell and typically controls what leaves and enters the cell.
