Study Notes

Nucleus

The nucleus is enclosed by a double membrane with pores
Pores allow material passage
Nucleolus is a round structure within the nucleus
Chromatin fibers are thread-like structures
Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during cell division
Chromosomes contain genes, segments controlling cell functions and heredity

Nucleus Functions

Controls all cell metabolic activities
Cell division is controlled
Transmission of hereditary traits from parents to offspring

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Network of interconnected tubes and sheets
Filled with fluid
Connected to the nucleus (inner side) and plasma membrane (outer side)
Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface

Functions of ER

Forms framework supporting the cell
Transports proteins
Detoxifies substances (toxins, chemicals) that enter the body
