Study Notes
Cellular Anatomy - Organelles
-
Organelles are the individual "organs" of a cell.
-
Nucleus: Located within a membrane, controls cell reproduction and contains DNA, the hereditary material.
-
Nuclear Envelope: A membrane surrounding the nucleus, containing nuclear pores.
-
Nucleolus: Located within the nucleus, manufactures ribosomes.
-
Ribosomes: Produce proteins, located in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane, involved in transport of cell products.
- Rough ER: Processes proteins.
- Smooth ER: Processes lipids and carbohydrates.
-
Mitochondria: The power source of the cell.
-
Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, where photosynthesis occurs.
-
Golgi Apparatus: Packages and secretes cellular products.
-
Lysosomes: Enzyme-coated organelles for cellular digestion.
-
Chromatin: Strands of genetic material that form chromosomes prior to cell reproduction.
-
Vacuole: Primarily for storage, plants have a large central vacuole.
-
Cell Membrane: Regulates what enters and exits a cell.
-
Cell Wall: Provides structure and support for plant cells (animal cells do not have cell walls).
Cellular Anatomy - Additional Structures
- Centrioles: T-shaped or barrel-shaped structures involved in cell division; plants lack centrioles, but have similar centrosomes.
- Fungi and bacteria: Both have cell walls, but designed differently.
