Eukaryotic Cell Structures
Structures within a eukaryotic cell that perform important cellular functions are known as organelles…
Play on the word…“organs of the cell”

The cytosol is the “fluid” portion of the cell.
ADD the organelles = cytoplasm
Its function is to: “hold” other organelles; interior space, place to make exchanges w/ other parts. Analogous to the area/space inside a factory

Nucleus
What is the function of the nucleus?

9. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Nucleus
Nucleus
The nucleus contains nearly all the cell's DNA (genetic information) and with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.
The nucleus is the control center of the cell. Analogous to the manager or boss of the factory.

Nucleus
The Nucleus
Chromatin
Nuclear envelope
Nucleolus
The nucleus controls most cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA. The DNA combines with protein to form chromatin, which is found throughout the nucleus. The small, dense region in the nucleus is the nucleolus.

11. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Nucleus
The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope composed of two membranes.
The envelope is dotted with nuclear pores, which allow material to move in and out of the nucleus.

Nucleus
The granular material in the nucleus is called chromatin.
Chromatin consists of DNA bound to protein.

Nucleus
When a cell divides, chromatin condenses to form chromosomes.
Chromosomes contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes
One of the most important jobs carried out in the cell is making proteins.
Proteins are made at the ribosomes.
Ribosomes are small pieces of RNA and proteins found throughout the cytoplasm and attached to other organelles.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

18. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Ribosomes
Ribosomes produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from the nucleus.
Cells that are active in protein synthesis are often packed with ribosomes.
Extremely small…you won’t see them with our microscopes.

19. Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

20. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Eukaryotic cells contain an internal membrane system called the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER.
The endoplasmic reticulum is where:
proteins are shaped (folded) and modified and moved to begin the “export” process.

Ribosomes
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

22. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

23. Endoplasmic Reticulum
There are two types of ER—rough and smooth.
1. The portion of the ER involved in protein modification is called rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER.
Ribosomes are found on the surface of rough ER.
Rough ER is abundant in cells that produce large amounts of protein for export.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

24. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Smooth ER
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

25. Endoplasmic Reticulum
2. Smooth ER does not have ribosomes on its surface.
Smooth ER contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks, such as:
1. making lipid parts of the cell membrane are assembled
2. synthesis of membrane lipids and detoxification of drugs.

Golgi Apparatus
Proteins produced/modified in the rough ER move into the Golgi apparatus.
to be “packaged” within a vesicle (a membrane bound container) and exported.

28. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus appears as a stack of closely apposed membranes.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins. Notice the stacklike membranes that make up the Golgi apparatus.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

29. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell.
From the Golgi apparatus, proteins are then “shipped” to their final destinations throughout the cell or outside of the cell.

Lysosomes
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are small organelles filled with enzymes.
Lysosomes break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.
Lysosomes also break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness.
