Nucleus function
To control cell activities and retain the chromosomes
1 of 19
Nucleus structure
Bound by nuclear membrane (pores for passage), has a nucleoplasm (contains chromatin) and a nucleolus (manufactures RNA, makes ribosomes)
2 of 19
Mitochondria function
Site of aerobic respiration. Produces energy-carrier molecule ATP
3 of 19
Mitochondria structure
double membrane- separated by fluid filled inter-membrane space. Folded to form extensions called cristae
4 of 19
endoplasmic reticulum structure
Parallel double membrane forming flattened sacs. Fluid-filled spaces called cistern. Connected with nucleus
5 of 19
Endoplasmic reticulum function
Transport throughout cell. ROUGH- transporting proteins made by ribosomes. SMOOTH- synthesis and transport of lipids
6 of 19
Ribosome function
Important in protein synthesis
7 of 19
Ribosome structure
Manufactured in nucleolus from ribosomal RNA and protein
8 of 19
Golgi body function
Proteins transported in vesicles and modified & packaged in golgi body. Also produce secretory enzymes and secreting carbohydrates
9 of 19
Golgi body structure
Rough ER pinched off at the ends
10 of 19
Lysosome function
Contain and isolate potentially harmful enzymes. Also destroy worn out organelles in cell and digest material that has been taken into cell
11 of 19
Lysosome structure
Small vacuoles formed when portions of golgi body are pinched off.
12 of 19
Centriole function
During cell function they divide and move to opposite poles where they synthesise the microtubules of the spindle
13 of 19
Centriole structure
Located outside nucleus in region known as the centrosome
14 of 19
Chloroplast function
Contains chlorophyll used in photosynthesis
15 of 19
Chloroplast structure
Double plasma membrane, stroma fluid-filled and contains ribosomes, lipids, DNA.
16 of 19
Vacuole function
Storage site for chemicals e.g. glucose
17 of 19
Vacuole structure
Fluid-filled sac bounded by a membrane-tonoplast.
18 of 19
Order of level of organisation
Tissues, organs, systems, organisms
19 of 19
