Stores genetic material in the form of DNA. Controls the cell. Codes for protein synthysis.
1 of 13
Cell membrane
made up of phospholipid bilayer, controls entry and exit of substances in the cell
2 of 13
Nuclear envelope
Surrounds the nucleau, double membrane with pores. Allows mRNA out of the nucleus.
3 of 13
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Covered in ribosomes and produces proteins
4 of 13
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Produced enzymes that synthsis lipids
5 of 13
Golgi apparatus
Produces carbohydrate molecules that combine with other molecules to form secretory products, e.g. lipoproteins. Modifies proteins recieved from RER and then packages them into vesciles so they can transported.
6 of 13
Cytoplasm
contains organelles
7 of 13
Mitochondria
Provide cell with adenosine triphosophate (ATP), an enzyme that provides energy
8 of 13
Lysosomes
digestive bodies that breakdown foreign or damaged materials
9 of 13
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis, responsible for assembling proteins in the cell

What does DNA stand for
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
11 of 13
What does RNA stand for
Ribose Nucleic Acid
12 of 13
What is the differnce between DNA and RNA
DNA - double helix, contains ATCG, rather than AUCG, stores and transfers genetic material, rather than coding for amini acids or acting as a messenger
