Nucleus Structure
Surrounded by nuclear envelope (double membrane) contains pores and chromatin and nucleolus
1 of 14
Nucleus Function
Chromatin is made from proteins and DNA. pores allow substances to move between nucleus and cytoplasm. nucleolus makes ribosomes
2 of 14
Vesicle Structure
Small fluid filled sack in the cytoplasm, surrounded by membrane
3 of 14
Vesicle Function
Transports substances in and out of the cell and between organelles. some are formed by golgi body or endoplasmic reticulum
4 of 14
Ribosome Structure
Very small organelle that floats free in the cytoplasm or is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum
5 of 14
Ribosome Function
Site where proteins are made
6 of 14
Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure
A system of membranes enclosing a fluid filled space. rouch ER is covered in ribosomes
7 of 14
Endoplasmic Reticulum Function
Smooth ER synthesises and processes lipids
8 of 14
Golgi Body Structure
Group of fluid- filled flattened sacs. Vesicles often seen at edges of sacs
9 of 14
Golgi Body Function
Processes and packages new lipids and proteins. Also makes lysosomes
10 of 14
Centriole Structure
Hollow cylinders containing ring of microtubules
11 of 14
Centriole Function
Involved in separation of chromosomes during cell division
12 of 14
Mitochondria Structure
Oval shaped. has double membrane - inner one is folded to form cristae. inside is matrix, it contains enzymes involved in respiration
13 of 14
Mitochondria Function
Site of aerobic respiration, where ATP is produced. Found in large numbers in cells that are active and require lots of energy
