How do organelles work together to maintain a cell's internal process and functions?

Organelles work together to carry out life processes and functions. Each organelle has a certain responsibility to carry out. Organelles are always working diligently to maintain a cell’s internal process and functions. Firstly, the “brain” of the cell is the nucleus. The nucleus administrates all of the cell activities. And, found within the nucleus there is genetic material called chromosomes. Secondly, the nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus. Additionally, the mitochondria makes ATP energy from food. The lysosomes has digestive enzymes that help break food down. Furthermore, the ribosomes make protein. Then, the Golgi apparatus process and package the …show more content…

Firstly, the cytoskeleton, (made up of microtubules and microfilaments), moves the organelles around giving them shape. The plant cells have cell walls and cytoskeletons. The animal cell does not have cell walls. The cytoskeleton gives the cell a structure and a shape. It also gives the cell locomotion. The cytoskeleton base is attached to the cell membrane, so the cell membrane plays a role of helping a cell maintain its structure. Secondly, the cytoplasm also aides the cell for structure. The cytoplasm surrounds the whole cell. This in turn helps support the cell by keeping all the organelles in place. The cell would be empty and deflated if their was no cytoplasm, so it takes a huge role for maintains the cell's shape and structure. Last but not least, the plant cells! The plant cells has cell walls that maintains its structure. Although, plant cells have cytoskeletons they have cell walls too. The cell wall is a rigid, tough, or a flexible barrier. They support the plant cell from physical stress, so it can maintain its structure. In brief, cells have a ton of ways to sustain structure and …show more content…

The green pigment in the chloroplasts are called chlorophyll and that is what absorbs light for a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process to make “plant food” and it takes place in the chloroplasts. The process needs sunlight, water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to create sugar. The food created in photosynthesis helps the plant grow and survive, without it, the plant would not have energy or food to do simple tasks. Furthermore, the plant takes less oxygen and releases more oxygen during photosynthesis. In addition, like I said earlier chloroplasts have chlorophyll in them and the chlorophyll gives the plant the unique green color. To summarize, the chloroplasts are vital to plants because they create food from a process called
