The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), particularly the smooth ER is responsible in the synthesis of lipids. It also functions as the storage for calcium ions.

What is the process that synthesizes mrna trna or rrna?

The process that synthesizes mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA is called transcription. In transcription, RNA polymerase enzyme reads a DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand. mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis, tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome, and rRNA forms part of the ribosome's structure.


Why does a eukaryotic cell need membranous organelles and fibrous cytoskeletal components?

Membranous organelles help compartmentalize cellular processes, allowing for specialization of functions and protection of delicate cellular structures. Fibrous cytoskeletal components provide structural support, help maintain cellular shape, and aid in intracellular transport and cell movement. These components are essential for the overall organization and functioning of a eukaryotic cell.


Do plants have carbon in their structure?

Yes, plants have carbon in their structure. Carbon is a key element in the molecules that make up plant cells, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.


Can you give an example of a prokaryote having membranous organelles?

Prokaryotes, such as the genus Gemmata, have been found to possess membranous organelles called nucleoids that resemble a eukaryotic nucleus. These nucleoids are enclosed by a double-membrane structure and can separate genetic material from the cytoplasm.


Name any cell organelle which is non membranous?

Ribosomes are non-membranous cell organelles responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
