What is difference b/w Centrosome ans …

1. Definition

A centrosome is an organelle found in cells that consists of two centrioles. A centriole is a structure found in a cell that is comprised of microtubules that are arranged in a particular way.

1. Size

A centrosome is of variable size but always bigger than a centriole. A centriole has dimensions that are approximately 500 nm long and 200 nm wide.

1. Formation

The pericentriolar material helps form the centrosome by organizing the centrioles. Proteins starting with SPD-2 recruit other proteins such as SAS-4, SAS-5, and SAS-6 to form the centriole.

1. Location

The centrosome occurs near the nucleus, and after it has copied itself, on opposite sides of the nucleus. The centriole can occur either near the nucleus or near the cell membrane.

1. Function

The function of the centrosome is to produce the spindle during mitosis and to help regulate intracellular transport. The function of the centriole is to form the centrosome and to form the basal body that gives rise to cilia and flagella
