Resource summary
Animal Cell Structure And Organelles
Nucleolus
Where ribosomes are made
Ribosomes are made of RNA and several proteins
They are a necessary part in protein synthesis
Nuclear Envelope
A double membrane layer that surrounds the nucleolus
Dotted with thousands of nuclear pores
Allow materials to move in and out of the nucleus
Chromatin
Compacted string of DNA
Found in the nucleus
Chromosomes are formed from chromatin
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Performs the synthesis of proteins
Transports many biochemical products
Dotted with ribosomes - hence the 'rough' ER
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesises carbohydrates and lipids
Golgi Apparatus
To carry out the processing of proteins from the rough ER
Helps with the transportation of lipids around the cell and with the creation of lysosomes
Mitochondria
Performs respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphospahte)
Ribosomes
Synthesise proteins out of mRNA
