Mitochondria is the power house of the cell. It is a doubled layer membrane . It produces ATP that is adenosine tri phosphate which is energy currency of any organism. It has up down projections which are called cristae which increases the surface area Lysosomes are sometimes produced by golgi apparatus. It is also called as suicidal bags. It contains very powerful enzymes which digest the waste materials produced by the cell. It also digest the parts of cell once they become waste. And when the cell is whole worn out so the lysosomes burst out and digest itself so it is often called suicidal bags Chromosomes are present in the nucleus of the cell. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes including a pair of *** chromosomes. Chromosomes contain DNA which contains the genetic information about the cell. The functional segment of DNA are genes which are transferred from one generation to the other. When the chromosomes do not work they convert themselves into chromatin material.

Cell Organelles Structure

Functions

Lysosomes A tiny, circular-shaped, single membrane-bound organelles,  filled with digestive enzymes. Helps in the digestion and removes wastes and digests dead and damaged cells. Therefore, it is also called as the “suicidal bags”.
Mitochondria An oval-shaped, membrane-bound organelle, also called as the “Power House of The Cell”. The main sites of cellular respiration and also involved in storge energy in the form of ATP molecules.
Plastids Double membrane-bound organelles. There are 3 types of plastids:

 

  1. Leucoplast –Colourless plastids.
  2. Chromoplast–Blue, Red, and Yellow colour plastids.
  3. Chloroplast – Green coloured plastids.
Helps in the process of photosynthesis and pollination, Imparts colour for leaves, flowers and fruits and stores starch, proteins and fats.
Ribosomes non-membrane organelles, found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum. Involved in the Synthesis of Proteins.
Vacuoles A membrane-bound, fluid-filled organelle found within the cytoplasm. Provide shape and rigidity to the plant cell and helps in digestion, excretion, and storage of substances.
