Nucleolus: Contained in the nucleus of Eukaryotic cells. The Nucleolus is thought of as the “ brain” of the nucleus. It is made of proteins and ribonucleic acids and its main function is to rewrite ribosomal RNA and combine it with proteins. This process creates ribosomes, and because of its role in creating them and a close relationship to chromosomal matter, the Nucleolus is thought to be the cause for many diseases.
Nucleus: It is a double-membraned organelle present in Eukaryotic cells. The nucleus makes most of the cells DNA. It is made up of seven parts, they are the outer membrane, the inner membrane, the nucleoplasm, the nucleolus, the chromatin, the nuclear envelope and the nuclear pore. Some of the main functions of the nucleus are

Its main function is to dispose of waste and digest materials. Their size ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 1.2 micrometers and has an outer membrane that allows materials to enter but stops the enzymes from escaping. Whenever a piece of the cell gets damaged it’s sent to the lysosome where it is broken down. Once it’s broken down it is sent out and expelled through the cell membrane.
Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle made of tube-like structures known as cisternae. Its main function is to fold proteins and transport them to the Golgi apparatus. Only organelle folded proteins are sent to the Golgi apparatus. Any proteins that aren’t folded properly cause an unfolded protein stress response. During this response, the production of proteins slows and this stress is thought to be damaging to the body's insulin resistance.
Golgi Apparatus: The Golgi apparatus is a major organelle in eukaryotic cells. The main function of it is to make and package macromolecules like proteins. It's also made up of cisternae, and usually, has five or six. Each of these has a region containing enzymes with different functions. Each of these is to modify the contents, depending on where they end up. It's also important in that it is vital for the creation of lipids and lysosomes. It also works closely with the Endoplasmic Reticulum, in that when the ER makes proteins, they're sent to the Golgi Apparatus

They generate most of the energy in the cell but are also part of cell growth. Mitochondria also affect human health with mitochondrial disorder and cardiac dysfunction. Some of its functions include making energy for the cell, regulate the number of calcium ions in a cell and help build hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. They make energy by receiving nutrition molecules to be processed, thus charging them and then combining them with
There are many different cells that do many different things. But all of these cells fall into two categories: prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and are larger in size than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus, are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. Two of their similarities are they both have DNA as their genetic material and are covered by a cell membrane.
parts, and each part has its own job. The nucleus of a cell is very similar
These organelles produce chemical reactions from the energy that the sun gives them. The Golgi complex's structure is made up of many flattened membranes sacs that are surrounded by tubules or vesicles. These are called the cisternae. The golgi complex accepts vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies them for usage in the cell.
Since DNA has the instructions for making the proteins, but it has to be highly protected, it doesn’t leave the nucleus where it is mostly found (Hall, 6). DNA’s function is to be a long-term storage and transmission of the genetic information (DNA vs RNA, 2014). Copies of certain instructions needed for proteins can be made in the form of RNA. It’s not an exact copy of what is found in DNA, but RNA can travel out of the nucleus with the instructions. RNA make...
Because the body, namely the “brain, heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and skeletal muscle, demand a finely tuned capacity for energy and lots of it, these tissues possess more mitochondria” (parkridge). When the mitochondria are not properly functioning for these organs, cell damage can occur.

The nucleus is a organelle that controls all life activities, especially reproduction. In a basketball stadium, the head coach is like the nucleus. The head coach controls everything that happens especially what his team does. This is how the
The nucleus of a cell keeps the cell going as a result of its the mainframe of a cell therefore it controls what happens inside a cell,what the cell will do and the way the cell is going to be used. Found inside of the nucleoplasm, the nucleolus is a consolidated district of chromatin where ribosome manufacturing happens.
The mitochondria is an organelle which is generally an oval shape and is found inside the cytoplasm and is again apart of the eukaryotic cells. The main function of the mitochondria is to complete cellular respiration; in simple terms it acts like a digestive system to break down essential nutrients and to convert it into energy. This energy is usually found to in ATP which is a rich molecule taken from the energy stored in food. Furthermore, mitochondria stores calcium for signalling activities; such as heat, growth and death. They have two unique membranes and mitochondria isn’t found in human cells like the red blood cells yet liver and muscle cells are filled entirely with mitochondria.
to construct and or maintain the cell membrane. In a microscopic view of the cell membrane we can
Cells are able to grow and reproduce. Cells reproduce by splitting and passing on their genes (hereditary information) to Daughter cells. The nucleus always divides before the rest of the cell divides. Therefore each daughter cell contains their own nucleus. The nucleus controls the cells activities through the genetic material DNA. The cells in a body are all the same except the gametes they were all made from one cell, the Zygote. This is the cell that was formed when two gametes from your parents fused.
In the most general terms, the nucleus is the command center of a eukaryotic cell. Although the origin of the organelle is unclear, it is believed that it is derived from a symbiosis relationship between a bacterium and an archaea (Martin W. 2005). Being the main hub for the inner workings of a cell involves different functions overall. These nucleic functions are determined by the genes within the DNA of the cell. Functions of the cell are also regulate by soluble proteins that come in and out of the cell via the membranes and specific channels or the nuclear pore complexes. The overall objectives of the nucleus include; gene expression, compartmentalization, and processing pre-mRNA. The functions of the organelles and sub-regions
The membrane surrounding the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Most of the cells we used in the experiments held, were multicellular or consisting of more than one cell. A variety of cells were used in completing the experiments. We used union cells, cheek cells, potato cells, and Elodeo cells. We also used Planaria which is a unicellular organism.
Energy production- The most important function of mitochondria is energy production in the form of ATP. The raw materials are food materials and tissues which are broken down in catabolism. These molecules transferred to mitochondria for further processes. In inner membrane they have electrical charges then they help in producton of ATP (Phosphorylaton) by combine with oxygen (Oxidaton) through five electron transport chain complexes. So this overall
The nucleus is often the largest organelle found in a Eukaryotic cell with a size of 10-20 un. It is surrounded by two membrane layers which can be identified on the diagram below. Within the nucleus structure are small pores with a size of 100un in diameter. These pores together make up around one third of the nuclear membrane surface area.
