5 of 29
What is compartmentalisation?
In Eukaryotic cells the cells will specialise to become a specific tissue or organ.
6 of 29
What does cell fractionation do?
Separates organelles

Free in cytoplasm
8 of 29
Where are ribosomes located in eukaryotic cells?
Mitochondria, Attached to ER, Chloroplast, Free in cytoplasm
9 of 29

What makes up chromatin
DNA + Protein
12 of 29
Function of nucleoplasm?
Surrounds chromatin to help organise it.
13 of 29
Function of nuclear lamina?
Attaches to chromosomes to maintain shape

What is the endoplasmic reticulum and what is its function?
Network of interconnecting membranes, it chemically modifies small molecules such as drugs.

Where do primary lysosomes come from?
Golgi
20 of 29
Food enters the cell as a phagosome what happens next?
