1. write the name & function of each of the organelles

a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
h.
i.
j.
k.
l.
m.
n.
o.
p.

Explanation:

A. Cell - membrane: Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
B. Cytoplasm: Holds organelles and is site of many chemical reactions.
C. Golgi - apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
D. Nucleus: Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.
E. Nucleolus: Site of ribosome synthesis.
F. Mitochondria: Power - house of the cell, produces ATP through cellular respiration.
G. Endoplasmic - reticulum (rough): Studded with ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis.
H. Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis.
I. Cell - membrane (in plant cell too, but has cell - wall outside it): Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
J. Cell - wall: Provides structural support and protection to plant cells.
L. Chloroplasts: Site of photosynthesis in plant cells, converts light energy to chemical energy.
M. Endoplasmic - reticulum (smooth): Involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
N. Mitochondria: Produces ATP for the cell.
O. Vacuole: Stores water, nutrients, and waste products in plant cells.

Answer:

A. Cell - membrane: Controls substance entry and exit.
B. Cytoplasm: Holds organelles, site of reactions.
C. Golgi - apparatus: Modifies, sorts, packages proteins/lipids.
D. Nucleus: Contains DNA, controls cell activities.
E. Nucleolus: Synthesizes ribosomes.
F. Mitochondria: Produces ATP via respiration.
G. Rough endoplasmic - reticulum: Protein synthesis with ribosomes.
H. Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis.
I. Cell - membrane: Controls substance entry and exit.
J. Cell - wall: Provides support and protection.
L. Chloroplasts: Site of photosynthesis.
M. Smooth endoplasmic - reticulum: Lipid synthesis, detoxification.
N. Mitochondria: Produces ATP.
O. Vacuole: Stores water, nutrients, waste.
