The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these macromolecules for cell secretion (exocytosis)
or use within the cell. The Golgi apparatus is like UPS!

Mitochondria have their own DNA, ribosomes and can make their own proteins. Similar to bacteria, mitochondria have circular DNA and
replicate by a reproductive process called fission.

Evolutionary theory holds to the endosymbiotic theory, it is thought that the organelles inside eukaryotes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from prokaryotes that took up residence inside eukaryotic cytoplasm. We do
not uphold this theory due to irreducible complexity

The inner membrane of a mitochondrion is folded into compartments called cristae (meaning "box"). The matrix, or inner space created by the cristae,
contains the enzymes necessary for the many chemical reactions that eventually transform food molecules into energy.

The Golgi body most unusually shaped organelles. Looking somewhat like a stack of pancakes, the Golgi body consists of a pile of
membrane-bounded, flattened sacs. Surrounding the Golgi body are numerous small membrane-bounded vesicles

Microtubules also form small, paired structures called centrioles within animal cells. These structures are not considered organelles because they are not bounded by membranes. Centrioles are involved in the process of
cell division (reproduction).

Within the nucleus, DNA is translated into a molecule called messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). MRNA then leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores. Once in the cytoplasm, mRNA attaches
to ribosomes and initiates protein synthesis

Some vesicles, as noted above, are used to transport molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the
Golgi body and from the Golgi body to various destinations.
Special kinds of vesicles perform other functions as well. Lysosomes are vesicles that contain enzymes
involved in cellular digestion

Blood makes up around 7% of the weight of a human body.
Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
These blood cells float in a yellow liquid called blood plasma. Blood plasma is made up of 90% water
and also contains various nutrients, electrolytes, gases,
proteins, glucose and hormones.

Red blood cells develop in bone marrow and circulate in the body
for around 120 days. Red blood cells have the
important job of carrying oxygen around the body. They also
contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron which combines with oxygen
to give hemoglobin and our blood, a red color.

Grouping human blood types can be a difficult process and there are currently around 30 recognized blood types (or blood groups). You might be familiar
with the more simplified “ABO” system which categorizes blood types under O, A, B and AB. Do you know which blood type you are?
Many generous humans around the world give blood donations every year. This blood is used in important blood transfusions or made into medication

Each day 400 gallons of recycled blood are pumped through the
kidneys.4.5 million Americans will a need
blood transfusion each year.Blood carries away from the body waste matter and carbon dioxide.

Two million red blood cells die every second.
By donating just one pint of blood, three lives can be saved.
There are approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the
human body.
