Define mitochondria , ribosomes , lysosomes and golgi apparatus .

Dear Student,

Kindly find your definitions bellow:
1. Mitochondria: Mitochondria are double-membrane-bound cell organelle. They are found in eukaryotic cells. Their function is to produce ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate), and provide cell with chemical energy to perform metabolic functions.
2. Ribosome: They are protein-RNA complexes. Their function is to synthesise proteins and are found in close association with endoplasmic reticulum.
3. Lysosome: Lysosomes are single membrane bound cell organelles. They are also called suicidal bad of cell, as they contain  hydrolytic enzymes capable of destroying its own cell.
4. Golgi apparatus: Golgi apparatus/ Golgi Bodies/ Golgi complex are double membrane bound cell organelles involved in packaging, glycosylation,  secretion and transportation of lipids within the cell. They also give rise to lysosomes.

Regards,
