Resource summary
Eukaryotic Cells
Nucleus
> Contains hereditary material and controls cell activity.
> Nuclear envelope - double membrane - controls entry & exit.
> Nuclear pores - allow passage of large molecules.
> Nucleoplasm - jelly-like material.
> Chromosomes - linear DNA.
> Nucleolus - manufactures RNA.
Mitochondria
> Double membrane. Inner two membranes is cristae.
> Cristae - large surface area for enzymes.
> Matrix - controls reproduction of proteins.
> Produce ATP, site of aerobic respiration.
Ribosomes
Site of protein-synthesis.
> 80s - eukaryotic cells.
> 70s - prokaryotic cells.
Cell Wall
> Cellulose - strong, stops cell from bursting. To give mechanical strength to the plant.
Lysosomes
Formed when vesicles produced by Golgi contain proteases and lipases.
> Hydrolyse material ingested by phagocytic cells.
> Digest worn out organelles so that the useful chemicals that they are made out of can be reused.
> Completely break down cells after they have become inactive.
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies and labels proteins.
> Add carbohydrates to proteins to form glycoproteins.
> Produce secretary enzymes.
> Transport, modify and store lipids.
> Form lysosomes.
Vacuoles
> Tonoplast - single membrane. Makes cells turgid. Sugars and amino acids act as a temporary store. Pigments may attract pollinating insects.
Endoplasmic reticulum
> RER: ribosomes, provide large surface area for protein-synthesis.
> SER: no ribosomes, synthesise, store and transport lipids. Synthesise, store and transport carbohydrates.
Chloroplasts
> Carry out photosynthesis.
> Chloroplast envelope - double membrane.
> Grana - stacks of thylakoids (contain chlorophyll)
> Stroma - second stage of photosynthesis. Contains starch grains.
