Ribosomes produce protein. The protein is needed for the production of protein, this is required for functions such as repairing or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes could be found around the cell or next to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Cytoplasm is made up of cytosol. In prokaryotes all the cell content is within the cytoplasm whereas with eukaryotes the nucleus is separate from the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless (4).
Eukaryotes only contains the following:
Mitochondria are found in both plant and animals cells and are shaped like a rod. A mitochondrion contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and proteins (5). The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy

Camillo Golgi, an Italian scientist was the first to discover it and named it after himself. They are membrane bound organelles which are shaped like a sack. The Golgi is made up of stacks of membrane-bound structures. At each end of the stack there is a face which helps with the function of the Golgi. One end of the stack is called cis face and the other end is called tans face. The cis face controls what goes in and the Trans face controls what goes out therefore the cis face will be located near the endoplasmic reticulum. The main function of the Golgi apparatus is to amend, categorize and set the macromolecules that are synthesized by the cells for use within the cell. Golgi modifies the proteins that are prepared by the rough endoplasmic reticulum. They help with transport of lipid molecules around the cells also involved in the production of lysosomes.
Lysosomes, one single lysosome contains a numerous amount of enzymes. They are found mainly in animals cells however still can be located in plant cells. They have a spherical shape which break down nearly all types of macromolecules such as peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. The outer surface is formed by a single membrane that can fuse with other membrane-bound

    Mitochondria: - The site of aerobic respiration where ATP (cellular energy) is produced. - They are 0.5-1.5 µm wide and 3-10 µm long. 2) Lysosome: - Contains digestive enzymes which are kept separate from the cytoplasm by the surrounding membrane, but can be used to digest invading cells or break down worn out components of cell. - Its size is 0.5-5 µm in diameter.…

    Lysosomes are small organelles that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts. Most of the cell’s energy is produced in the mitochondria. Cytoplasm is gel-like fluid which many of the organelles are found. Ribosomes function as factories to produce proteins which can either be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or float in the cytoplasm. The golgi apparatus receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell…

    Also, responsible for the breaking down of fatty acids by beta-oxidation, excess purines to urea, and toxic compounds (ex: eliminates drugs and toxins from the liver and kidneys) Secretory Vesicle- vesicles that mediate the vesicular transport of cargo from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it docks and fuses to release its content (ex: hormones or neurotransmitters) Ribosomes- a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins Cytoplasm- The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus. The organelles of eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, and (in green plants) chloroplasts, are contained in the cytoplasm.…

    Movement of cells are important since some cells depends on movement to carry out its major function. For example, sperm cells need to move from one place to another place to carry out reproduction. Movement of cells are supported by cytoskeleton system of the cells. The cyctoskeleton system are composed of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. However, for unicellular organisms such as Paramecium, the movement of cells are regulated through cilia or flagella.…

    These go about as a boundary to keep DNA inside the core where interpretation happens. The RNA produced amid interpretation is transported out through atomic pores. Numerous proteins are integrated at the Endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes tie to the ER (a film bound organelle) and make an interpretation of the RNA message into protein that either navigates the layer (like a protein channel does) or is inside the ER in a vesicle (for solvent proteins that are emitted by the cell by exocytosis... like development elements and hormone proteins) (Meiner,…

    Some cells are uncomplicated, but others are complex with internal structures called organelles. These cells can be put into two categories which are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes, and they have many differences and similarities. The prokaryotes derive from prokaryotic cells whose fossils have been in existence for over 3.8 billion years, which mean they have learned to adjust to the earth’s environments more than any other life form. Prokaryotes are the bacteria and their close relatives, of which have few internal parts. The prokaryotes are a assorted body of fundamental one-celled organisms that are divided into two major groups: the Archaea and the Eubaceria.…

It is possible since they become the biggest organelle in a plant cell further in their life. Moreover, I realized that plant were slighter bigger, because I saw the plants cells more easily than animal cells in lower magnification.…
