30. Cell Component Structure Function Concept 6.3 Surrounded by nuclear envelope (double membrane) perforated by nuclear pores. The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Houses chromosomes, made of chromatin (DNA, the genetic material, and proteins); contains nucleoli, where ribosomal subunits are made. Pores regulate entry and exit of materials. Nucleus The eukaryotic cell’s genetic instructions are housed in the nucleus and carried out by the ribosomes (ER) Two subunits made of ribo- somal RNA and proteins; can be free in cytosol or bound to ER Ribosome Protein synthesis Extensive network of membrane-bound tubules and sacs; membrane separates lumen from cytosol; continuous with the nuclear envelope. Concept 6.4 Smooth ER: synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohy- drates, Ca2+ storage, detoxifica-tion of drugs and poisons Endoplasmic reticulum The endomembrane system regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell (Nuclear envelope) Rough ER: Aids in synthesis of secretory and other proteins from bound ribosomes; adds carbohydrates to glycoproteins; produces new membrane Modification of proteins, carbo- hydrates on proteins, and phos- pholipids; synthesis of many polysaccharides; sorting of Golgi products, which are then released in vesicles. Stacks of flattened membranous sacs; has polarity (cis and trans faces) Golgi apparatus Breakdown of ingested substances, cell macromolecules, and damaged organelles for recycling Membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes (in animal cells) Lysosome Digestion, storage, waste disposal, water balance, cell growth, and protection Vacuole Large membrane-bounded vesicle in plants Concept 6.5 Bounded by double membrane; inner membrane has infoldings (cristae) Cellular respiration Mitochondrion Mitochondria and chloro- plasts change energy from one form to another Typically two membranes around fluid stroma, which contains membranous thylakoids stacked into grana (in plants) Chloroplast Photosynthesis Contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen to water, producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a by-product, which is converted to water by other enzymes in the peroxisome Specialized metabolic compartment bounded by a single membrane Peroxisome
