Eukaryotic Organelles
Eukaryotic OrganellesThe mitochondria has an eggshape structure. The mitochondria consists of
an inner and outer membrane. The outer membrane is what shapes the
organelle to its egglike shape. The inner membrane which folds inward
makes a set of “shelves” or cristae that allow the reactions of the
mitochondria to take place. The more the mitochondria makes these reactions
the more the inner membrane folds. This happens because the mitochondria
now has more surface area connecting it to its surroundings. The processes
that the mitochondria make are to break down the high energy organic
molecules into smaller more useful packages.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubes and channels that
transport and with the help of ribosomes produce proteins. The rough
endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes which are not present in the
smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum allows the
cell to produce proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is used in the
detoxification processes in the cell and the transitional endoplasmic
reticulum is...
