List two organelles that belong to the Endomembrane System and give a function for each. Describe the different functions for a mitochondria and a chloroplast. What was your favorite cell that you observed in lab this week? Why did you like it?

Solution

1. Endoolasmic reticulum and golgi bodies.

ER: smooth er helps in lipid synthesis. Rough er is involbed in trsnsport of protei d.

Golgi: responsibke for modifying and shipping of products.

Mitochondria: it is called as the powerhouse of the cell as it provides most of the cells supply of adenosine triphosphate. The provide the energy to the cell through respiration. Along with these they have other roles like storing calcium for maintaining homeostasis of calcium they also have additional functions like regulation of the membrane potential regulating cellular metabolism steroid synthesis.

Chloroplast:

Chloroplast is a cell organelle e which contains the pigment chlorophyll so chloroplast plays an important role in photosynthesis along with days they also carry out other functions like fatty acid synthesis amino acid synthesis chloroplast like mitochondria contain their own DNA.
