Allow mRNA molecules to pass from nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm
2 of 14
Nucleolus
Assembles the ribosomes
3 of 14
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
4 of 14
RER
Holds the ribosomes and provides a large surface area for protein synthesis
5 of 14
Smooth ER
Associated with storage, synthesis and transport of lipids and carbs
6 of 14
Golgi body
Modifies proteins made in the ribosomes, can add a carb group and repackages proteins into vesicles to be secreted
7 of 14
Centrioles
Involved in organisation of microtubules that make up cytoskeleton and form the spindle used to move chromosomes in nuclear division
8 of 14
Cytoskeleton
Network of microtubules and microfilaments, provides support and structure for the cell, enables movement of organelles inside the cell and movement of the whole cell
9 of 14
Flagella
Large extension of cell surface membrane containing microtubules (eukaryotes only) and able to move fluids (to help cell move)
10 of 14
Cilia
Small hair like extension of c.s.m containing microtubules, large numbers work in sync and are able to move mucus across a surface
11 of 14
Lysosomes
Small vacuoles containing hydrolytic or lytic enzymes
12 of 14
Mitochondria
Site of aerobic respiration
13 of 14
Chloroplasts
Site of photosynthesis
