membrane-bound
- Chloroplasts
- a stack of thylakoids is called a granum {pl. grana}
- inner membrane has a network of membranes called thylakoids
- only found in plant cells and the cells of some protocists
- Golgi apparatus
- modifies proteins produced at the ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
- packages modified proteins into vesicles
- Lysosomes
- contain powerful digestive enzymes
- Mitochondria
- folds called cristae increase the surface area to increase the rate of reaction
- site of ATP production during respiration
- Nucleus
- contains chromatin, which condenses into chromosomes during cell division
- houses the cell's genetic material
- nuclear pores allow the movement of larger molecules
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- covered in ribosomes
- flattened sacs called cisternae
- site of protein synthesis
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- deals with lipid synthesis
- flattened sacs called cisternae
non-membrane-bound
- Centrioles
- form the spindle {the part which moves chromosomes} during nuclear division
- small tubes of protein fibres {called microtubules}
- there is a pair next to the nucleus in animal cells and the cells of some protocists
- Ribosomes
- comprised of two sub-units
- in eukaryotic cells, ribosomes cover the rough endoplasmic reticulum
- site of protein synthesis
