Task 6: List briefly the functions of the following organelles:
1. Nucleus - Control all the activities in the cell.
2. Nucleus membrane - Controls what enters and leaves the nucleus.
3. Chromatin - To package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, to strengthen the DNA and prevent DNA damage, and to control gene expression and DNA replication.
4. Cytoplasm - Provides support for the cell.
5. Cell membrane - Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
6. Vacuole - In plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. Vacuoles in animal cells are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.
7. Mitochondria - Provides energy for the cell.
8. Chloroplasts - Contain chlorophyll which aids in photosynthesis.
