Question

Name the organelles which show analogy as under.
Kitchen of the cell ___________.

Answer 1

Hint: Organelles are subcellular particles present inside cells and are associated with different cellular functions required for metabolism and survival. Different organelles have different functions which can be associated with certain analogies like Mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell because oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria releases ATP as energy for cellular functions. Similarly, Lysosomes are called the suicidal bags of the cell as they are involved in apoptosis or cell death.

Complete solution:
Now, the analogy given in the question is regarding the Kitchen of the cell.
Since we all know that a kitchen is a place where food is cooked. So, we can associate the organelle which performs the synthesis of food.
Based on the above discussion we can find two important indications about the organelle which is the kitchen of the cell.
The organelle is associated with the synthesis of food.
Since synthesis of food occurs only in the producers so the organelle should be the part of a plant cell.
Chloroplast is the plant cell organelle which is associated with the synthesis of food in plant cells by the process of photosynthesis and is therefore referred to as the kitchen of the cell.

Note:
Plant chloroplasts are huge organelles (\[5 - 10m\] long) surrounded by the chloroplast envelope, a double membrane. Chloroplasts contain a third internal membrane system, called the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane is made up of a network of flattened discs called thylakoids that are often stacked into grana. The fluid present in the chloroplast is called stroma. In chloroplasts thylakoid membrane is the site of photosynthesis.
