Chapter 3, Problem 1O
Summary Introduction
To discuss: The function of the cell membrane, nucleus, and mitochondria.
Introduction: A cell is the fundamental, structural, and functional unit of the living organisms, which is bounded by a cell membrane. A cell contains different organelles. Each organelle has its own specific features and functions. Each cellular organelle possesses different structural peculiarities.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The functions of the cell membrane are as follows:
- It is a semipermeable barrier that basically separates the cell from extracellular membrane.
- Cell membrane encloses the cellular components.
- This membrane regulates the passage of various types of molecules in or out of the cell.
The functions of nucleus are as follows:
- It contains genetic information in its chromatin.
- It is the control center of the cell.
- Nucleus plays an essential role in cell division.
The functions of mitochondria are as follows:
- They convert the complex form of chemical energy into a simpler form of chemical energy that is adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
- Inside the mitochondria,
cellular respiration occurs, which includes glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, and oxidative phosphorylation. - It is also called as the “power house” of the cell and produces around 95 percentage of the ATP required by the cell.
- Mitochondria can store calcium that helps in maintaining homeostasis of the level of calcium in the cell.
- They regulate the cellular
metabolism and also have roles in apoptosis, thermogenesis, and cell signaling.
