Cell Organelles

Circled Dot

Every cell is surrounded by a membrane that serves to maintain a distinct boundary, separating its internal constituents from the surrounding environment

Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R) 

Class 6 Science

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (S.E.R)

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which contains ribosomes for protein synthesis, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which produces lipids, make up the intricate network of membrane-bound structures known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (R.E.R)

The ER also makes it easier for substances, especially proteins, to move throughout the cell and between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Detoxification in vertebrate animal liver cells depends on the SER

Golgi apparatus

Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus is an essential cellular organelle made up of membrane-bound vesicles stacked in what are known as cisterns. It was first described by Camillo Golgi.

Class 6 Science

Lysosomes

Lysosomes contribute to the preservation of cellular cleanliness by acting as the body's waste disposal mechanism. They are primarily responsible for breaking down foreign objects and exhausting cell organelles

Class 6 Science

Mitochondria

Known as the powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria have a special structural makeup. Two separate membrane coverings envelop them;

Class 6 Science

Plastids

Plant cells are unique from animal cells because they contain plastids. There are two different types of plastids: leucoplasts, which are usually white or colourless, and chromoplasts, which are distinguished by their vivid pigments

Class 6 Science

Vacuoles

Essential storage sacs for the solid and liquid components of a cell are called vacuoles. Notably, plant and animal cells differ in their size and importance
