Two storage organelles are
vesicles and vacuoles
.
What cell is used for storage?
| A B | Ribosome This organelle synthesizes proteins. | Tissue This is a group of cells with similar structure or function. | Vacuole This is a tiny fluid-filled cavity in the cytoplasm that can be used for storage of biochemicals. |

Which organelle is responsible for storage?
The correct answer is
Golgi apparatus
. Golgi Apparatus is responsible for storage, modification, and packing of products in vesicles. The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex.
What organelle is responsible for storing food and water?
The organelle responsible for storing water and other materials is
the vacuole
. A vacuole is the cell’s version of a storage unit.
Which organelle helps in storage of food and water?
A vacuole
is formed by the fusion of numerous small vesicles derived from the tubular membranes of the cell (Golgi apparatus in eukaryotes). 1. It acts as a storage house of the ingested food, water, and waste material.
Do human cells have cytoskeleton?
Eukaryotic cells have an
internal cytoskeletal scaffolding
, giving them their distinctive shapes. The cytoskeleton enables cells to transport vesicles, undergo changes in shape, migrate and contract.
What is any living thing with one or more cells?
A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), is called
an organism
.
Is the storage tank of the cell?
In all cells they
store sugars, proteins, minerals, lipids, wastes, salts, water, and enzymes
. This is why they are called the “storage tank” of the cell.
What cell makes ribosomes?
Eukaryote ribosomes are produced and assembled in
the nucleolus
. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four rRNA strands to create the two ribosomal subunits (one small and one large) that will make up the completed ribosome (see Figure 1).
What does a chloroplast allow a plant cell to do that an animal cell Cannot?
Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts
work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells
.
What are short hairlike structures that help move a cell?
Cilia
, tail-like projections found on the surface of cells, are perhaps best known as molecular flippers that help cells move around.
Is the powerhouse of cell?
The mitochondria
, often labeled the powerhouse of the cell, are the organelle responsible for energy production within the cell. Playing an important role in cellular respiration, the mitochondria are the main location for ATP production.
Which organelle is used for transportation?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
is an organelle responsible for making both membranes and their proteins. It also aids molecular transport through its own membrane. The ER is responsible for protein translocation, which is the movement of proteins throughout the 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 are the three types of cytoskeleton?
The filaments that comprise the cytoskeleton are so small that their existence was only discovered because of the greater resolving power of the electron microscope. Three major types of filaments make up the cytoskeleton:
actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments
.
What is a real life example of a cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton acts as a “track” on which cells can move organelles, chromosomes and other things. Some examples are:
Vesicle movement between organelles and the cell surface
, frequently studied in the squid axon.
