Cell: Organelles found in both Plant Cell and Animal Cell and details
Names of the organelles in plant and animal cells
The following organelles found in both plant cell and animal cells:
1. Endoplasmic reticulum:- The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a network of membranous canals filled with fluid. They carry materials throughout the cell. The ER is the "transport system" of the cell. There are two types of ER: rough ER and smooth ER. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is lined with ribosomes and is rough in appearance and smooth endoplasmic reticulum contains no ribosomes and is smooth in appearance.
3.Golgi Bodie:- Golgi bodies are stacks of flattened membranous stacks. The Golgi Body temporarily stores protein which can then leave the cell via vesicles pinching off from the Golgi.
4. Lysosome:- Lysosomes are small sac-like structures surrounded by a single membrane and containing strong digestive enzymes which when released can break down worn out organelles or food. The lysosome is also known as a suicide sac.
5. Mitochondria:- The mitochondria are round "tube-like" organelles that are surrounded by a double membrane, with the inner membrane being highly folded. the mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell. the mitochondria release food energy from food molecules to be used by the cell. This process is called respiration.
6. vacuoles:- Vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles enclosed by a membrane. They can store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products.
