Rod- shaped
Two membrane:
Outer membrane
Inner membrane
The latter is greatly folded
with stalked particles.
Inner membrane encloses a
fluid-filled matrix.(can be
found a few circular strands
of DNA,70S ribosomes and
enzymes used in Krebs
cycle).
Abundant in cells which are
metabolically active.
(Ex:skeletal muscle cells,
spermatozoa,liver and
pancreatic cell.)
Chloroplast
is the stroma
Centriole
Microtubules
Hollow tube
Contains two types of
globular proteins,alpha and
beta tubulin.
Continually polymerising
and depolymerising(cause
changes in the length of
microtubules
Act as organisers of
microtubules spindle
fibres
involved in the
separation of
chromosomes or
chromatids during cell
division.
Divide to produce basal
bodies from which
flagella and cilia
develop.(some cell)
Give shape&mechanical
support to the cell.
Serve as tracks for
intracellular movement
of organelles or vesicles.
Main component of cilia
and flagella in the cell
motility.
Component of spindle
fibres involved in
separation of
chromosomes during
cell division.
Role in cell wall
formation.
Microfilaments
Component of
cytoskeleton
Give shape&support to
the cell.
Role in cellular
movements
Actin and myosin
filament are needed for
muscle constraction.
Constriction of filaments
causes cleavage and
furrow formation in
cytokinesis of animal
cell
