1. A group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions is called organ. Small organs present within cell are called organelle.
Example- mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum etc.
Functions of cell organelles are as follows:
- Nucleus - responsible for controlling the activity of the cell, as well as cell division
- Endoplasmic reticulum - provides a transport channel within the cell
- Ribosomes - help in protein synthesis
- Golgi bodies - help in cell secretion
- Mitochondria - powerhouse of the cell; liberates energy in the form of ATP
Nerve cells are usually branched and very long as they need more surface area to transmit the signals. Due to their long size they can easily carry messages in each and every portion around the body.
In mammals, after maturation, the nucleus disappears from the RBC to provide adequate space for hemoglobin to carry oxygen. Nucleus is responsible for cell division so the blood cells don't divide, they are produced by other cells within bone marrow. This is an adaptation which allows the red blood cell to carry more oxygen.
