What is a vacuoles nickname?
Page 2. Vacuole. Nickname:
Refrigerator
. A vacuole is a large storage area that holds food, water, and wastes. Vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells.
What is a nickname for ribosomes?
Ribosomes. • Nickname: “
Protein Factories
” • Function: make proteins. • Found in ALL CELLS.
What is the nickname of lysosomes?
The last function of the lysosome is that they are involved in programmed cell death or autolysis, which is degradation of the cell’s own components. This involvement in autolysis has given lysosomes the nickname ‘
suicide sacs
‘.
What is the nickname of organelle?
| A B | cell membrane cell’s gatekeeper | centrosome nucleus’s assistant | lysosome cell’s garbage man | mitochondria cell’s powerhouse |

What is the nickname of mitochondria?
Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP. This video describes the structure and functions that give mitochondria their nickname:
the powerhouses of the cell
.
Which organelle is called the brain of the cell?
The nucleus
is the ‘brain’ of a cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus function?
The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as
a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes
, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.
What is the powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondria
, the powerhouse of the cell, convert sustenance into energy, fueling the cell’s activities. In addition to power, mitochondria also produce reactive oxygen species, byproduct molecules primed to help facilitate communication among the other units in the cells.
Does a cell membrane have a nickname?
Cell Membrane. Nickname: “
Area of Movement” Cytoplasm
.
Which organelle is like a delivery truck?
Vesicles
move materials throughout a cell, much like a delivery van moves materials throughout a city.
What are in ribosomes?
The ribosome is a
complex molecule made of ribosomal RNA molecules and proteins
that form a factory for protein synthesis in cells. In 1955, George E. Palade discovered ribosomes and described them as small particles in the cytoplasm that preferentially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
What is the nickname of peroxisome?
This involvement in autolysis has given lysosomes the nickname ‘suicide sacs’. Peroxisomes, also called
microbodies
, are about the size of lysosomes (0.5–1.5 μm) and like them are enclosed by a single membrane.
What is a ribosomes function?
Ribosomes have two main functions —
decoding the message and the formation of peptide bonds
. These two activities reside in two large ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) of unequal size, the ribosomal subunits. Each subunit is made of one or more ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and many ribosomal proteins (r-proteins).
