·      Organelles and their Function

Number One

Organelles and Energy (Glucose)

·      To simplify, there are two types of molecules directly related to energy.

·      Sugar needs to be broken down to make ATP

·      Fats need to be broken down or built to make triglycerides.

·      The organelles that transform Glucose to ATP is the mitochondria.

·      Fats can be broken or made by interactions with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus.

·      Consider energy as fuel for the cell, so you need to visualize how fuel is both stored and burned.

Number Two

Organelles and Multiple functions

·      Consider that you need some structures in the cell to regulate the energy, provide internal structure and to identify the cell.

·      In order to make protein you need both a series of events to make the protein larger and you need a means to code each individual protein

·      Structures involved start with DNA and RNA for code

·      Organelles involved are Nucleus, RER, Vescicles, golgi apparatus.

Number Three

The cell membranes role in regards to organelle functions.
