Eukaryotic Cells Research Paper
Organelle: Plasma membrane
Structure: The plasma membrane has many proteins inbedded in it and is made up of two layers of phosphilipids. The structure is phospho liquid bilayer and it froms a barrier between two aqueous compartments.
Function: The plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells is responsible for controlling what goes in and out of the cell. Series of proteins stuck in the membrane help the cell to communicate with the surrounding environment it’s in. This communication can include sending and receiving chemical signals from other eukaryotic cells.
Organelle: Cytoplasm
Structure: Cytoplasm is a gel like substance which is located between the cell membrane holding all the cells organelles in place (except the nucleus).
Function: Cytsoplasms …show more content…
Function: The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of the genes and to control any activites of the cell, the nucleus is the control centre of the cell.
Organelle: Nucleolus
Structure: The nucleolus is found in the chromosomal areas of the nucelus and it is made up of proteins and RNA.
Function: The function of the nucleolus is to form ribosomes by modifying ridosomal RNA, it is also part of the eukaroytic cells stress response which it can react to due to certain environments.
Organelle: Endoplasmic reticulum
Structure: There is two types of endoplasmic reticulum, smooth and rough, the rough has many ribosomes in it whilst the smooth does not. Endoplasmic reticulum forms a connected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tubes.
Function: The endoplasmic reticulum folds the protein molecules in sacs (Cisternae) and they transport proteins in vesicles to the Golgi …show more content…
Organelle:Vesicles
Structure: A vesicle is a small organelle of a cell which consists of a fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane.
Function: Vesicles are a tool used by the cell for organising cellular substances, vesicles are involved in transport and they store enzymes.
Organelle: Lysosomes
Structure: Known as the stomach of the cell, Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes. It contains a membrane around it to allow the digestive enzymes to work at pH.
Function: The Lysosomes is responsible for breaking down waste materials, they digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses.
Organelle: Ribosomes
Structure: The ribosomes are made up of dozens of proteins aswell as RNA molecules, they consist of two subunits which interconnect together.
Function: The ribosomes translate mRNA into protein. The mRNA is made up of a series of codons that dictate to the ribosome the sequence of amino acids needed to create the protein.
