Eukaryotic cell structure
- Nucleus
- Nuclear envelope
- Double membrane
surrounding the
nucleus. Controls
the entry and exit
of materials.
- Nuclear Pores
- Allows passage of
large molecules.
- Nucleoplasm
- Jelly-like
material
that makes
up the bulk
of the
nucleus.
- Chromosomes
- Protein bound
linear DNA
- Nucleolus
- Manufactures
ribosomal RNA
and assembles
the ribosomes.
- Mitochondrion
- Double membrane
- Controls the
exit and
entry of
materials.
- Cristae
- Extensions of the inner
membrane. Provide a large
surface area for the attachment
of enzymes during respiration.
- Matrix
- Contains proteins,
lipids, ribosomes
and DNA.
- Chloroplasts
- Chloroplast
Envelope
- Controls the exit and
entry of materials.
- Grana
- Stacks of up to
100 disc like
structures called
Thylakoids.
Where the first
stage of
photosynthesis
takes place.
- Thylakoids
- Where chlorophyll
is located.
- Stroma
- Fluid-filled matrix where
the second stage of
photosynthesis takes
place.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
- Has ribosomes on
its outer surface.
- Provides a large
surface area for the
synthesis of protiens.
- Provides a pathway
for the transport of
materials through
the cell.
- Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
- Has no ribosomes
- Synthesises, stores and
transports lipids.
- Synthesises,
stores and
transports
carbohydrates.
- Golgi Apparatus
- Cisternae
- Stack of membranes
which make up
flattened sacks.
- Vesicles
- Small round hollow structures. Transports modified
proteins to the cell surface to be released outside.
- Modifies proteins by adding
carbohydrates and labels them so
they can be sorted.
- Produces
secretorty
enzymes.
- Forms
lysosomes.
- Ribosomes
- 80S
- 25nm in diameter
- Site of protein
synthesis
- One large one
small sub
unit.
- Cell Wall
- Consist of a number
of polysaccharides
- Middle Lamella
- Thin layer which marks the boundry
between cells and joins them together.
- Provides mechanical strength to
prevent the cell from bursting.
- Gives strength to the plant as a whole.
- Allows water to pass along it
and contributes to the
movement of water through
the plant.
- Vacuoles
- Tonoplast
- Single membrane surrounding
the vacuole.
- Contains mineral
salts, sugars, amino
acids, wastes and
pigments.
- Support plants by
making them
more turgid
- Sugars and amino
acids act as a
temporary food store
- Lysosomes
- Vesicles which
contain the
enzymes
lysozymes
- Hydrolyse the cell wall
of certain bacteria
- Hydrolyse material
ingested by phagocytic
cells
- Release enzymes outside of
the cell to destroy material
around the cell
- Digest worn out organelles
so the chemicals can be
reused.
- Break down cells
after they have died.
