Cell Wall-: (Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Cell Wall-: (Deoxyribonucleic Acid
-cell membrane-
It is an outer protective cover around all cells
It is present in all cells
It is semi permeable- allows only some substance to go inside (like a filter)
It allows food, oxygen, nutrients to go inside and waste material outside
It is made up of lipid bi layer
-cytoplasm-
Jelly like substance
Mainly water substances are present in cytoplasm
Also there are dissolved nutrients like amino acids
Different metabolic reactions take place here as they have a lot of enzymes present in it
All organelles get support due to cytoplasm
Vacuole
Contains cell sap= water+dissolved nutrients
Thin layer of membrane around the vacuole is tonoplast
In animal cells they have very small membrane bound vesicles
They may contain food,enzyme,proteins,waste materials, which helps to remove the
substance outside of cells
Instead of larger vacuole we have tiny vacuoles called vesicles
In plants a large vacuole
Cell membrane pt 2
Some cells exist to do compartmentalization, it allows cells to concentrate reactants and
enzymes in one area.
They also allow chemicals that might be harmful to the cell to be confined to an area.
Chloroplast
They are specialized organelles found in algae and plants that capture energy through
photosynthesis
Disc shape
Double membrane organelle
The matrix of the chloroplast is called stroma
Stroma contains enzymes
Nucleus
Directs all cell activities
Contains instructions for the cell
Stores genetic information called DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
Double membrane bound organelle
Contains chromosomes- in which genes are present
It has a nuclear membrane called nuclear envelope
The nuclear membrane has pores
The cytoplasm of the nucleus is called nucleoplasm
Nucleolus produces RNA
Chromatin Chromosomes
Thin thread like fibres which contain DNA Thick and short, condensed form of DNA
which are seen only during cell division
Ribosomes-
They are small structure made up of 2 small parts
They are made up of rRNA and proteins
ribosomes exist in eukaryotic cells as well as prokaryotic cells
Protein synthesizing machine
Ribosomes may wander freely within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum, sometimes abbreviated as ER.
endoplasmic reticulum
rough ER: has ribosomes attached to it.
smooth ER: doesn't have ribosomes attached to it.
Golgi apparatus
At the end of the endoplasmic reticulum
It is a membrane bound structure
consists of flattened membrane sacs
the Golgi apparatus, sometimes called the Golgi body : Proteins and other materials emerge
from the endoplasmic reticulum in small vesicles
where the Golgi apparatus, sometimes called the Golgi body receives them. As proteins
move through the Golgi body they're customized into forms that the cell can use.
The Golgi body does this by folding the proteins into usable shapes. or adding other
materials on to them such as lipids or carbohydrates
animal and plant cells. During a process called cellular respiration the mitochondria make
ATP molecules that provide the energy for all the cells activities.
