Document Summary

Nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. Plant cell has more organelles: vacuole is much larger than in animal cell (approx. Ribosomes: unifying feature of all cell types. Bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic are all slightly different. In eukaryotic cells, some are free in cytosol, while others are attached to endoplasmic reticulum membranes: still others are found in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Endoplasmic reticulum (er: extensive interconnected network of membranous, types channels and vesicles. Makes proteins that become part of cell membranes or are released (secreted) from cell. This is also the way proteins are secreted from the cells (i. e. antibodies). They are synthesized at the er, then passed along, and finally secreted out of the cell. Synthesizes lipids and is the site of many other essential cellular functions. Endomembrane system: characteristic feature of eukaryotic cells. Chemically modifies proteins made in rough er. Sorts finished proteins to be secreted from cell or embedded in plasma membrane.
