Which oganelle contains ribosomes?

Ribosomes themselves are cell organelles. They function as protein synthesis factories of the cell. ribosomes makes proteins by translating the message coded in the mRNA by amino acids, tRNA and enzymes.


What is an oganelle?

An organelle is a small "micro-organ" which exists within the bodies of single-celled organisms, and fulfills the role larger organs would play in larger organisms. For example, mitochondria are organelles which produce energy, in the form of ATP, for the cell to use.


Is an insect a eukartyote?

Yes. Eukaryote (Eu - true, karyote - nucleus) means that the DNA is in a membrane bound organelle. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotic. On the other side, Prokaryote (Pro - before, karyote - nucleus) means that the cell was before the nucleus "evolved" (if you believe in evolution) either way, it means that the DNA is NOT bound by a membrane bound oganelle.


Why is the nucleus an oganelle?

The nucleus is considered an organelle because it is a specialized structure within eukaryotic cells that performs a distinct function—namely, housing and protecting the cell's genetic material (DNA). It regulates gene expression and controls cellular activities by managing the synthesis of RNA and proteins. Surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, the nucleus plays a crucial role in cell reproduction and overall cellular function.
