Resource summary

cell structure
  1. microscopy

    Annotations:

    • light and electron microscope ; used to see cells structure  in higher resolutions
    1. functions of membranes and organelles
      1. plasma membrane

        Annotations:

        • also known as cell membrane surface. It controls what enters and leaves the cell
        1. nucleus

          Annotations:

          • it is enveloped by two nuclear membrane. Contains chromosomes 
          1. nucleolus

            Annotations:

            • new ribosomes are made there 
            1. ribosomes

              Annotations:

              • structures made of RNA and protein. found in cytoplasm & attached to RER
              1. rough endoplasmic reticulum

                Annotations:

                • Involve in protein synthesis and linking the amino acids. Moves amino acid chains from  cisternae of RER  to golgi apparatus.
                • the cisternae breaks off to form vesicles containing the amino acids
                1. smooth endoplasmic reticulum

                  Annotations:

                  • Involve in synthesis of steroid hormones  and breakdown of toxins
                2. Golgi apparatus

                  Annotations:

                  • Here the amino acids are modified, for e.g adding a carbonyl group to the them. 
                  • they break off  from GA to cell membrane by exocytosis.
                  1. Mitochondrion

                    Annotations:

                    • mitochondria in plural, here also the mitochondria has 2 envelops surrounding them.
                    • they are responsible for aerobic respiration, aka ATP production. Krebs cycle occur in matrix  and oxidative phosphorylation stage occurs on membranes of the cristae. 
                    1. Lysosomes

                      Annotations:

                      • function: digest bacteria, unwanted or damaged organelles or other cells taken by phagocytosis within the lysosome.
                      • they are little membrane-bound package of hydrolytic enzymes, aka digestive.
                      1. centrioles

                        Annotations:

                        • found in animal cells; not in plant cells
                        • They are made of tiny tubules called microtubules and they form spindle fiber during cell division, in animals cells
                      2. prokaryotic cells

                        Annotations:

                        • made up of
                        • DNa lies naked in the plasma; bacteria contains small plasmids made up of Dna, never associated with histone
                        • Contains only ribosomes, about 18 nm, and cell wall made up of  peptidoglycans
                        1. bacteria
                          1. archaea
                          2. eukaryotic cells

                            Annotations:

                            • They have nucleus and nuclear envelop. They are larger than prokaryotic cells
                            1. animals
                              1. plants
                                1. chloroplasts

                                  Annotations:

                                  • found only in some plants. Same nuclear envelop as mitochondria
                                  1. stroma

                                    Annotations:

                                    • contains many paired based membranes thylakoids
                                    1. thylakoids

                                      Annotations:

                                      • forms stacks called grana

                                        Annotations:

                                        • the grana contains chlorophyll
