Answer preview
DNA that regulates metabolism and growth. Chromosomes are thread structures that facilitate the replication and distribution of DNA during cell division. They also perform the function of holding the proteins within the eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria produces chemical energy stored in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Reininger, 2018). Its function is the regulation of cells and calcium homeostasis. Also, helps in the maintenance of reprogramming and differentiation of stem cells. Another function of the mitochondria is to regulate the innate immunity of cells through the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein. It responds to viral infection and pathogens, thus providing a defense mechanism. The last component of cells in the ribosomes.
