@ -70,15 +70,75 @@ A person contains roughly 100 trillion cells
- All organelles are suspended in cytosol
- Cytoplasm is the cytosol along with everything in a cell, excluding the nucleus
## Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs with a "rough" appearance because of the presence of ribosomes on the surface
## Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Network of tubules and flattened sacs
- Transport proteins via cytoskeleton in vesicles
### Function
- Protein synthesis
- About half of the cell's proteins are made here, by the ribosomes
- Protein movement
- Proteins are transported by vesicles throught the cell to other organelles, like the golgi apparatus
- Protein "Proof-Reading"
- pre-existing proteins are center the rough-ER for modification
### Rough ER
- Appears "rough" due to the ribosomes attached to its outer surface
- Located directly adjacent and attached to nucleus
- Located next to Golgi apparatus
- Ribosomes in rough ER synthesize proteins
- Only specific proteins are synthesized by ribosomes of rough ER
- Proteins synthesized in ribosomes of rough ER are always sent to either Golgi apparatus via vesicles or stay in rough ER
- Ribosomes attach to and leave the rough ER regularly
- About half the cell's proteins are produced here
- Modify, fold, and fix proteins
### Smooth ER
- Does not synthesize proteins
- Appears "smooth" due to lack of ribosomes
- Located directly adjacent and attached to nucleus
- Synthesizes lipids (fats, e.g., cholesterol)
- Metabolises carbohydrates
## Lysosome
- Spherical vesicle that contains enzymes
- Digests and kills foreign matter which is then excreted
- Digests and breaks down old and unused material to be recycled
- Digests and breaks down old or non-functional organelles as needed
- Only plays a very minor role in cell suicide (apoptosis)
- If lysosome does rupture (accidentally) everything dies
## Mitochondrion
- **Plural is "mitochondria"**
- Contains an inner and outer membrane
- Processes glucose + oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide + adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
- ATP allows proteins to do things (e.g., spend 1 ATP break 1 molecule)
- ATP cannot be stored
- Mitochondria have their own DNA
## Cytoskeleton
- Made of protein filaments
- Maintains and changes cell structure, much like a human skeleton + muscular system
- Moves cells
- Chemicals can travel along cytoskeleton, e.g., organelles, vesicles, etc.
## Organelles specific to animal cells
### Centrioles and centrosomes
- Made of same protein as cytoskeleton
- A centrosome is a pair of centrioles
- Very important to cell division
- Split chromosomes apart after DNA has been replicated into daughter cells
- Helps regulate cell division
- Create cilia and flagella (e.g., small hair-like things that swipe dirt out of lungs and tails of sperm, respectively)
### Lysosomes
## Organelles specific to plant cells
### Cell wall
- Provides structure and prevents cell rupture
- Can be tough, flexible, and/or rigid
- Permeable to small molecules
- Made of cellulose (type of sugar)
- Also present in most bacteria, fungi, and protists
### Central vacuole
- Extremely large, may take up to 90% of volume in cell
- Contains water
- Maintains turgor pressure against cell wall (pushes against cell wall in all directions)
### Chloroplasts
- Conduct photosynthesis
- All chlorophyll is located in chloroplasts
- Looks green
