- Organelles
- Nucleus
- Has nuclear pores so it allows large molecules out of the nucelus
- Controls cell activity using coded instructions
- Has a nucleolus to manufacture RNA
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Synthesizes proteins and glycoproteins
- So it has a large surface area
- Has ribosomes to assemble proteins
- Ribosomes have a small surface area so they can have a large overall surface area
- Synthesizes proteins and glycoproteins
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- Reactions involving lipids (e.g. breaks down lipid based chemicals)
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi body
- Processes proteins e.g add carbohydrate, label for destination and put in vesicles
- Mitochondrion
- Releases energy from glucose to make ATP
- Has folded cristae so it has a large surface area for lots of reactions
- It is narrow so it has a short diffusion distance
- Nucleus
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- Reactions involving lipids (e.g. breaks down lipid based chemicals)
