II. From your answer in part 1, make a list of all the organelles and their locations and
functions.
Organelles Locations Functions
1. Cell or Plasma on the outside of a It provides protection for a cell. It also
Membrane cell provides a fixed environment inside the
cell, and that membrane has several
different functions. One is to transport
nutrients into the cell and also to transport
toxic substances out of the cell.
2. Golgi Apparatus Stacks of flattened A cell organelle that helps process and
membrane sacs package proteins and lipid molecules,
located near the especially proteins destined to be exported
nucleus from the cell. Named after its discoverer,
Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a
series of stacked membranes.
3. Lysosomes Simple, tiny, single A membrane-bound cell organelle that
membrane bound contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes
sacs dispersed in cell are involved with various cell processes.
cytoplasm They break down excess or worn-out cell
parts. They may be used to destroy
invading viruses and bacteria.
4. Mitochondria Spherical, rod- Membrane-bound cell organelles
shaped dispersed in (mitochondrion, singular) that generate
the cytoplasm most of the chemical energy needed to
power the cell's biochemical reactions.
Chemical energy produced by the
mitochondria is stored in a small molecule
called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
5. Nucleus Centre of the To store the cell's DNA, maintain its
cytoplasm integrity, and facilitate its transcription and
replication.
6. Peroxisomes In cytoplasm Organelles that sequester diverse oxidative
reactions and play important roles in
metabolism, reactive oxygen species
detoxification, and signaling. Oxidative
pathways housed in peroxisomes include
fatty acid β-oxidation, which contributes to
embryogenesis, seedling growth, and
stomata opening.
7. Microfilaments beneath the cell Assist with cell movement and are made of
membrane a protein called actin. Actin works with
another protein called myosin to produce
 muscle movements, cell division, and
cytoplasmic streaming. Microfilaments
keep organelles in place within the cell.
8. Microtubules adjacent to the They are very important in a number of
nucleus cellular processes. They are involved in
maintaining the structure of the cell and,
together with microfilaments and
intermediate filaments, they form the
cytoskeleton. They also make up the
internal structure of cilia and flagella.
9. Endoplasmic Irregular network of Can either be smooth or rough, and in
Reticulum tubular double general its function is to produce proteins
membrane for the rest of the cell to function. The
distributed over the rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it
entire cell cytoplasm ribosomes, which are small, round
organelles whose function it is to make
those proteins.
10. Vacuole Fluid-filled or solid- It is membrane-bound cell organelle. In
filled and animal cells, vacuoles are generally small
membrane-bounded and help sequester waste products. In plant
spaces in the cell cells, vacuoles help maintain water
cytoplasm balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can
take up most of the interior space of the
plant cell.

What organelle can be found inside another organelle known as mitochondria? What is its
function?
Answer:

The organelle that can be found inside the Mitochondria is the Mitochondrial ribosomes or
mitoribosomes. They perform protein synthesis inside the mitochondria and these organelles are
responsible for energy conversion and adenosine triphosphate production in eukaryotic cells.

 IV. This was discovered in the year 2018, what organelle is this? What is its function?

Answer:

The name of this newly found organelle is called “TIGER Domain”. This organelle is a minor membraneless
organelle in which messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes certain types of proteins to find the appropriate
environment for growth. The TIGER domain was first discovered by cell biologists Christine Mayr and Weirui Ma
at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in 2018. The letters TIG signify TIS
granules and letters ER stands for the endoplasmic reticulum. TIS granules type a network of interconnected
proteins that bind RNA and the endoplasmic reticulum is wherever macromolecule synthesis occurs. this
mixture of the TIS proteins and also the endoplasmic reticulum creates a definite place in which mRNA and
proteins collect, interact, and grow. The patterned pattern of the TIS granules that are interweaving with the
endoplasmic reticulum additionally agree the orange and black stripes of a tiger.
