Question

Which organelle is called factory?

I am thinking on this question but i am so much confused

Answer 1

Every organelle in the cell has specified function and synthesize particular bio-molecules to perform the cell function at the right time,we can't specify single organelle as a factory.

Explanation:

Consider, an example,mitochondria is the organelle where ATP is produced via many metabolic pathways such as fatty acid catabolism,citric acid cycle and so on, we can say that mitochondria is the factory of ATP. Another example,Nucleolus,where the RNA Ploymerase I is found and this enzyme synthesize ribosomal RNA only, which takes part in protein synthesis.Therefore, the specified function of particular organelle is decided and said to be a factory for synthesizing specified biomolecule.These biomolecules are used up as per requirement of the cell.
