EUKARYOTE
a eukaryote is any organism consisting of one or more cells containing DNA in a membrane bound nucleus seperate from cytoplams
- animal cells
- plant cells
- algal cells
- fungal cells
ANIMAL CELL ORGANELLES
- CSM
- nucleus
- nucleolus
- nuclear envelope
- rough endo-plasmic reticulum
- smooth ER
- lysosome
- ribsosome
- golgi apparatus
- golgi vesicle
- cytoplasm
- mitochondria
OTHER CELLS
PLANT: Same organelles as animal cells but with extras;
- cellulose cell wall
- vacuole
- chloroplasts
ALGAL: cells also carry out photosynthesis, and can be unicellular (chlorella) or multicellular (seaweed)
- same organelles as plants but chloroplasts are different sizes and shapes
FUNGAL: also can be multicellular (mushrooms) or unicellular (yeast), like plant cells but;
- cell walls made of chitin not cellulose
- no chloroplasts
NUCLEUS
- controls the activities of the cell through manufacturing MRNA and TRNA
- contains DNA in the form of chromosomes
Envelope: double membrane surrounding which controls entry and exit of materials in and out of cells
Nuclear Pores: allows passage of large molecules e.g. messenger RNA out of nucleus
Nucleolus: manufactures ribosomal RNA and assembles ribosomes
MITOCHONDRIA
- site of aerobic respiration
- responsible for production of ATP
has a double membrane; outer controls entry and exit of materials and inner is folded to form cristae
- cristae - large surface area for attachment of enzymes and proteins in respiration
- matrix makes up remainder - contains enzymes for respiration
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
ROUGH ER
system of membranes enclosing a fluid filled space, continuous with outher nuclear membrane covered in ribosomes
- folds and processes proteins made at ribosomes
- large surface area for synthesis of proteins/glycoproteins
SMOOTH ER
same as rough ER but with no ribosomes
- synthesises, stroes and processes lipids and carbohydrates
GOLGI
APPARATUS:
Group of fluid filed membrane bound flattened sacs; proteins and lipids produced by ER pass through
- processes and packages lipids and proteins
- makes lysosomes
- produces secretory enzymes
VESICLE:
small fluid filled sac in cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane and produced by golgi apparatus
- stores lipids and proteins made by apparatus
- transports them out of the cell
LYSOSOME and RIBOSOME
LYSOSOME
formed when a golgi vesicle digestive contains enzymes - lysozymes
- break down materials ingested by phagocytic cells e.g. white blood cells
- release enzymes to outside of cell - exocytosis
- digests worn out components
RIBOSOME
small cytoplasmic granules found in cytoplasm or attached to rough ER, made of proteins and RNA
- site of protein synthesis
CHLOROPLASTS
organelles surrounded by a double membrane;has membranes inside known as thykaloid membranes; these can be stacked up to form grana
- grana linekd together via lamella (flat pieces of thykaloid membrane)
- contain chlorophly which absorb sunlight
- stroma is fluid filled matrix where 2nd stage of photosynthesis happens
VACUOLE
membrane bound organelle found in cytoplasm containing cell sap; surrounding membrane is known as tonoplast
- makes cell turgid - provides support
- maintains pressure
- stops plants wilting
- isolates unwanted chemcials
CELL WALL
rigid structyre srrounding cells in plants, algae and funghi
- plants: cellulose
- funghi: chittin
provides mechanical support to prevent the cell changing shape
