Eukaryotic Cell
- think compartmentalization
Posses a cytoskeleton for
- maintain structure
Nucleus
o Repository of genetic information
o Most eukaryotic cells possess a single nucleus
Nucleolus
o Where ribosomal RNA synthesis takes place
Nuclear envelope
o 2 phospholipid bilayers
o Nuclear pores
Control passage in and out
In eukaryotes DNA is
divided into multiple linear chromosomes
Chromatin
Chromosomes + protein
Chromosomes
o Composed of a single DNA molecule with proteins (Chromatin)
Ribosomes (Eukaryotic)
Endo
“Within”
Endomembrane system
divides cells into compartments
Rough ER (RER)
Ribosomes to membranes gives a rough appearance
Synthesis of proteins sent to lysosomes
Smooth ER (SER)
Few bound ribosomes
Synthesis
Store Ca2+
Detoxification
Golgi apparatus
o Flattened stacks of membranes
o Function and distribution proteins from one location to another
Cis (GA)
Nearest to the ER
Trans (GA)
Nearest to Plasma Membrane
Lysosomes
o Membrane-bounded digestive vesticles
o From Golgi Apparatus
o Enzyme catalyze
o Destroy cells or foreign matter
Peroxisomes
o Enzymes
o Hydrogen peroxide
Vacuoles
o Membrane bound structures o Different typses Central vacuole in plant cells Contractile vacole of fungi and protists Storage vacuoles
o Cellular respiration
o Metabolic process
-Oxygen to ATP
o Site photosynthesis
-Light to ATP
Mitochondira are found in
All eukaryotes
Mitochondria structure
Outer membrane
Space
Inner membrane
-Has cristae
Matrix (Like cytoplasm)o Thylakoids
-Membranous sacs
o Ganum
-Stacked thylakoids
o Stroma
-Internal fluid (like cytoplasm)
