30Cell Component
Structure
Function
Houses chromosomes, made of chromatin (DNA, the
genetic material, and proteins)
contains nucleoli, where ribosomal subunits are
made. Pores regulate entry and exit of materials.
Nucleus
Concept 6.3
Surrounded by nuclear envelope (double
membrane) perforated by nuclear pores. The
nuclear envelope is continuous with
the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
The eukaryotic cells genetic instructions are
housed in the nucleus and carried out by the
ribosomes
(ER)
Ribosome
Two subunits made of ribo- somal RNA and
proteins can be free in cytosol or bound to ER
Protein synthesis
Extensive network of membrane-bound tubules
and sacs membrane separates lumen from
cytosol continuous with the nuclear envelope.
Concept 6.4
Endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth ER synthesis of lipids, metabolism of
carbohy- drates, Ca2 storage, detoxifica-tion of
drugs and poisons
The endomembrane system regulates protein traffic
and performs metabolic functions in the cell
(Nuclear envelope)
Rough ER Aids in synthesis of secretory and
other proteins from bound ribosomes
adds carbohydrates to glycoproteins produces new
membrane
Modification of proteins, carbo- hydrates on
proteins, and phos- pholipids synthesis of
many polysaccharides sorting of Golgi products,
which are then released in vesicles.
Golgi apparatus
Stacks of flattened membranous sacs has
polarity (cis and trans faces)
Breakdown of ingested substances, cell
macromolecules, and damaged organelles for
recycling
Lysosome
Membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes (in animal
cells)
Digestion, storage, waste disposal, water
balance, cell growth, and protection
Vacuole
Large membrane-bounded vesicle in plants
Concept 6.5
Mitochondrion
Bounded by double membrane inner membrane
has infoldings (cristae)
Cellular respiration
Mitochondria and chloro- plasts change energy
from one form to another
Chloroplast
Typically two membranes around fluid stroma,
which contains membranous thylakoids stacked into
grana (in plants)
Photosynthesis
Contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen to water,
producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as
a by-product, which is converted to water by
other enzymes in the peroxisome
Peroxisome
Specialized metabolic compartment bounded by
a single membrane
