Eukaryotic cells have
|
Membrane enclosed organelles
|
Movement in/out of organelles requires
|
Crossing membranes
|
Cytosol
|
Contains many metabolic pathways, prtoein synthesis
|
Nucleus
|
Contains main genome, DNA and RNA synthesis
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Synthesis of most lipids, synthesis of proteins for distribution to many organelles and to the plasma membrane
|
Golgi apparatus
|
modification sorting, and packaging of proteins and lipids for either secretion or delivery to another organelle
|
Lysosomes
|
Intracellular degradation
|
Endosomes
|
Sorting of endocytosed material
|
Mitochondria
|
ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation
|
Chloroplasts (in plant cells)
|
ATP synthesis and carbon fixation by photosynthesis
|
Peroxisomes
|
Oxidation of toxic molecules
