BiologyCellular processes and structureASAQA Created by: Marianne BradleyCreated on: 26-09-10 14:40 Nucleus Contained inside the nuclear envelope which contains nuclear pores to allow movement of substances. Contains a nucleolus which is a dense structure of nucleic acid and crystalline protein. Contains cell's DNA. Involved in ribosome system. Largest organelle in the cell. 1 of 8 Mitochondria Bound by a double membrane. Convert chemical energy into ATP through respiration 2 of 8 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes attached to surface. Transport proteins are synthesised here. 3 of 8 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum. Network of tubes and flattened sacs. Continuous with plasma and nuclear membrane. Site for lipid and carbohydrate metabolism (including hormone synthesis) 4 of 8 Ribosomes Manufacture proteins Either free in cytoplasm or on the surface of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. 5 of 8 Golgi Apparatus Series of sacs stacked on top of one another. Stores, modifies and packages proteins. Tags proteins so that they end up at the correct destination. 6 of 8 Centrioles Associated with nuclear division Microtubular structures 7 of 8 Lyosome Bound by a single membrane. Contain and transport enzymes that break down food and foreign matter. Have little internal structure. 8 of 8
