CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells are composed of tiny structures that carry out all of the functions of MRS. GREEN. These structures are called:
A
chloroplasts
B
organelles
C
organisms
D
microbes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells also have a set of “little organs", called organelles, which are adapted and/or specialized for carrying out one or more vital functions. Organelles are found only in eukaryotes and are always surrounded by a protective membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are green because they contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is vital for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -An organelle is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell, much like an organ does in the body. Among the more important cell organelles are the nuclei, which store genetic information; mitochondria, which produce chemical energy; and ribosomes, which assemble proteins.
