Out of the following choices which 5 organelles are most essential for a cell to function?
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Cell Wall
Mitochondria
Lysosome
Vacuole
Golgi Apparatus
Cytoskeleton
Cytosol
Centrioles
SER
RER
Chloroplast
Nucleolus
Please and thanks. =)

that is stupid. All of the following are absolutely necessary for an eukaryotic cell: Nucleus, ribosomes, lysosome, golgi, cytoskeleton, cytosol, SER, RER, nucleolus. Without these, there can be no cell
- January 9, 2007 at 11:15 pm #65360mithParticipant
Agreed, stupid question….
- January 9, 2007 at 11:18 pm #65362DCpwnerParticipant
I do agree with you two, but it is question formulated by my biop teacher, I already have my own opinion, so im not leeching of you guys, I was just wondering what you thought
- January 10, 2007 at 4:25 am #65420sachinParticipant
stupid teacher 😆
- January 10, 2007 at 4:41 am #65425sachinParticipant
stupid Que 😆
Is your teacher OK?
It is like…."What are the non-essential features of house?"
1.Walls
2.Door
3.Window
4.floor
5.Roof
6.Funiture………. 😆But then also I will answer that…
1.Nucleus……… Includes Nucleolus and centroil factor.
2.Cell wall……….Essential to maintain osmotic pressure.
3.Mitochondria……… Ofcourse; energy House.
4.RER………… Includes ER; Ribosome; part of cytoskeleton.
5.Cytosol……… All other parts are included in this.
So give this answer to your teacher….
He/She will get a Shock 😆
- January 10, 2007 at 1:43 pm #65500DustfingerParticipant
For a cell, everything is essential. Perhaps your teacher should rather ask what are the most well-known organelles ?
- January 10, 2007 at 2:52 pm #65511MrMisteryParticipant
cell wall esential for maintaining osmotic pressure?
- January 12, 2007 at 2:28 am #65892honeevKeymaster
ei sachin… maybe ur referring to cytoplasm? cytosol and cytoplasm are different terms, remember… 😀
- January 12, 2007 at 9:19 am #65929DustfingerParticipant
Indeed, two different things. Although my teacher is firmly convinced they are the same. But I don’t belive him – he doesn’t know that much…….
- January 12, 2007 at 10:16 am #65948kjleParticipant
I hate stupid teachers, lol. I had one of those the past few years.
- January 12, 2007 at 5:33 pm #66020sachinParticipantquote honee_v:ei sachin… maybe ur referring to cytoplasm? cytosol and cytoplasm are different terms, remember… 😀
Ok then;
5.Cytosol ………Essential to keep organells working..
- January 12, 2007 at 7:14 pm #66048MrMisteryParticipant
still. why did you include the cell wall?
- January 12, 2007 at 7:30 pm #66057DustfingerParticipant
Cell membrane is more important than cell wall ??
- January 12, 2007 at 7:32 pm #66059MrMisteryParticipant
aah.. yes. think of it: do you know any cells without a cell wall? yes. How about without a cell membrane? No
- January 13, 2007 at 6:17 am #66254sachinParticipantquote MrMistery:still. why did you include the cell wall?
lol; there is no option of "cell wall" in initial post…….. 😮
I have thought of that before popsting my answer…lol…. 🙄
Go and see first post carefully…. 😯
- January 13, 2007 at 12:18 pm #66339MrMisteryParticipant
maybe you should get your eyes checked :p
There is cell wall in the initial post - January 13, 2007 at 3:34 pm #66363sachinParticipantquote MrMistery:maybe you should get your eyes checked :p
There is cell wall in the initial postOh sorry typing mistake……… 😳
Not "cell wall"…….. I want to say "cell membrane"……….. 😮
That was the matter of issue……… 😉
My eyes are well yet…….. No spects since.. 🙄
Now say………. what you were saying?…. 😮
- January 15, 2007 at 10:57 am #66690DustfingerParticipantquote MrMistery:aah.. yes. think of it: do you know any cells without a cell wall? yes. How about without a cell membrane? No
Exactly ! So cell mebrane IS more important.
- January 15, 2007 at 2:47 pm #66708sachinParticipant
I know its important ………. but there was no option of cell membrane but cell wall……. so I selected that……….
Please for give me…. 😥
- January 28, 2007 at 12:19 pm #68247honeevKeymaster
yeah… im wondering why cell wall is on the list but not the cell membrane… 🙄

Check the organelles in the genus Mycoplamas. Simplest free living organism. Other than terminal organelle will probably be close
- January 30, 2007 at 9:51 am #68350MrMisteryParticipant
he meant Mycoplasma. And they are parasytes from what i know, not free living.
By the way, how many ribosomes does a mycoplasma have? cause it says in campbell that one of those little buggers is only 5 times as big as a ribosome. where do the DNA, ribosomes, enzymes and everything fit in that small space? - February 3, 2007 at 12:41 am #68544vergil5203Participant
Easy..ya…all organel realy need..well more importantly is Nucleus,RER,membrane,mitocondria and Centrioles..rite..well,about ribosome.RER hv ribosome already..if doing an essay question can write more about any organel..
- February 3, 2007 at 12:47 am #68545vergil5203Participant
Moderator…He asked for pick the organel,this is main thing he want to it..perhaps need explaination
- February 3, 2007 at 7:57 pm #68557MrMisteryParticipant
centrioles? Buy new books buddy. Centrioles are not absolutely necessary for any cell. Plant cells don’t have them at all. And if you distroy them in an animal cell, the cell still divides by mitosis.
- February 4, 2007 at 12:49 pm #68583vergil5203Participant
Ooic…well,i thought centrioles is important…*shy*
- February 5, 2007 at 4:33 am #68601vergil5203Participant
Erm..today i ask my lecturer..he noticed about the centrioles..if dun hv at plant cell stil can divide by mitosis but in animal muz hv centrioles.Its that correct?
- February 5, 2007 at 11:10 am #68610MrMisteryParticipant
NO. experimental procedures have shown that if you use a laser to distroy the centrioles of an animal cell it will still divide.
Actually, according to Molecular Biology of the Cell a spindle can form with no problems even without centrosomes. It is called a bipolar spindle, and it has provided evidence that chromosomes play an active role in spindle formation… - February 6, 2007 at 7:25 am #68633vergil5203Participant
OOh i see…thanks for ur information.Now i more know about it
