Describe the Function of the Mitochondria
This activity will teach students about how animal cells work. Mitochondria are a major source of reactive oxygen species ROS as well as a critical target of the harmful effects of oxidative stress. Structure And Function Of Mitochondria All eukaryotic cells contain an endoplasmic reticulum ER. . Animal cells do all kinds of jobs in the body to keep things running smoothly. Endoplasmic reticulum ER in biology a continuous membrane system that forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and serves multiple functions being important particularly in the synthesis folding modification and transport of proteins. Superoxide dismutases SODs glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px and. In animal cells the ER usually. Because of this they are equipped with multiple defense mechanisms These range from antioxidants enzymes able to directly quench radical species ie. Mitochondria is the plural form of the word mito...
