Organelle Structure and Functions - Part 1

Part 1 deals with Organelle structure

AB
MitochondriaRodlike, double-membrane structures
RibosomesDense particles consisting of two subunits, free or attached to rough ER
Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumMembrane system enclosing a cavity, externally studded with ribosomes, coils through the cytoplasm
Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumMembranous system of sacs and tubules, free of ribosomes
Golgi ApparatusStack of smooth membrane sacs and associated vesicles close to the nucleus
LysosomesMembrane sacs containing acid hydrolases
PeroxisomesMembranous sacs of oxidase enzymes
MicrotubulesCylindrical structures made of tubulin proteins
MicrofilamentsFine filaments of the contractile protein actin
Intermediate filamentsProtein fibers, composition varies
CentriolesPaired cylindrical bodies, each composed of nine triplets of microtubules
CiliaShort, cell surface projections, each cilium composed of nine pairs of microtubules surrounding a central pair
FlagellaLike cilium but longer, only example in humans is the sperm tail
Plasma MembraneMade of double layer of lipids where proteins are embedded
NucleusLargest organelle, surrounded by the nuclear envelope
Nuclear EnvelopeDouble-membrane structure, pierced by the pores
NucleoliDense spherical bodies composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins
ChromatinGranular, threadlike material composed of DNA and histone proteins
CytoplasmJelly-like cellular region between the nuclear and plasma membrane
