off from the ER and these joins together to form the Golgi apparatus. Proteins
can be exported from the cell via the Golgi apparatus.
Golgi apparatus
the Golgi apparatus is a stack
of flattened sacs. This stack of sacs is sometimes referred to as the Golgi body.
More than one may be present in a cell. The stack is constantly being formed
at one end from vesicle which bud off from the ER, and broken down again at
the other end to form Golgi vesicles. The stack of sacs with the associated
vesicles is referred to as the Golgi apparatus as Golgi complex.
The Golgi apparatus collects, processes and sorts molecules (particular
proteins from the Rough ER) ready for transport in Golgi vesicles either to
other parts of the cell or out of the cell (secretion). Two examples of protein
processing in the golgi apparatus are the addition of sugar to protein to make
molecules known as glycoproteins, and removal of the first amino acid,
methionine, from newly formed proteins to make a functioning proteins. In
plants, enzymes in the Golgi apparatus convert sugars into cell wall
components. Golgi vesicles are also used to make lysosomes.
Mitochondria
have an envelope (two
membrane) surrounding them. The inner one is folded to form cristae. This is
where aerobic respiration takes place, producing ATP. This first stage of this
process, called the Krebs cycle, takes place in the matrix. The final stage,
oxidative phosphorylation, takes place on the membrane of the cristae.
Ribosomes
are small structures made of RNA and
proteins. They are found free in the cytoplasm, and attached to rough ER.
Proteins are made on the ribosomes, by linking them together amino acid.
Lysosomes
are little membrane- bound packages of hydrolytic
(digestive) enzymes. They form by breaking off from the Golgi apparatus. They
are used to digest bacteria or other cells taken into the cell by phagocytosis, or
to breakdown unwanted, or damaged organelles within the cell.
Chloroplasts
are found in the same plant cells.
Like mitochondria, they are surrounded by an envelope made up of two
membranes. Their background materials is called the stroma and it contains
many paired membranes called thylakoids. In places, these forms stacks called
grana. The grana contains chlorophyll, which absorbs energy from sunlight. The
first reactions in the in photosynthesis, called the light-dependent reactions
Nucleus
Centrioles
one of two small, cylindrical structures
found just outside the nucleus in animal cells, but absent from plant cells;
centrioles help control spindle formation during nuclear division.
