21 views3 pages

Document Summary

Ribosomes-free ones in cytosol, or attached to rough er the site of protein synthesis . Brought in by being surrounded by a membrane and then the lysosomes digest it away, or old worn out organelles. Nucleus-contains the chromosomes and functions as an administrative center for information storage and processing. Enclosed by a complex double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which is studded with pore-like openings, and the inside surface is linked to fibrous proteins that form a lattice-like sheet called the nuclear lamina. The nuclear lamina stiffens the structure and maintains its shape. Chromosomes do not float freely in the nucleus-instead, each chromosome occupies a distinct area, which may vary in different cell types and over the course of cell replication. Also contains specific site where gene products are processed and includes at least one distinctive region called the nucleolus, where the rna molecules found in ribosomes are manufactured and the large and small ribosomal subunits are assembled.
