Document Summary

An organelle is a membrane-bound compartment and ribosomes: contains its own set of enzymes and molecules, and systems to transport molecules from one compartment to another. Cytosol: space of the cytoplasm outside the organelles. Function of organelles is to: increase surface area of membranes, divide the cytoplasm into functionally specialized places. Four families of organelles: nucleus and cytosol, connected by nuclear pores, secretory and endocytic organelles, endoplasmic reticulum (er, golgi, endosomes, lysosomes, connected by transport vesicles, mitochondria, plastids chloroplasts and others (in plants only) The lumen of the er, golgi, lysosomes, and endosomes have the same topology as the outside of the cell. The nucleus and cytosol are topologically continuous. A: mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as endosymbiotic bacteria with their own genomes and proteins. double membranes are isolated from vesicle traffic. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are not connected topologically to anything. Organelles come from pre-existing organelles with their associated proteins because all cells come from pre-existing cells.

One effective learning strategy when trying to learn largeamounts of factual information is to group items, or âchunkâ. Youshould include all important structures of the cell (this includescell membrane and membrane adaptations as well as organelles).Examples of general categories could be location, function,morphology, etc. Your categorization groups must tell the viewersomething about the structures. Once your structures are groupedaccording to the characteristics they share, you should include ashort phrase about what differentiates them from each other withinthe group. Citation of your source material must be present.

List of Organelles:

Nucleus, Nuclear envelope/membrane, Nucleolus, Ribosomes,Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, Plasmamembrane, Cytoskeleton, Transport/secretory vesicles,Phagosomes/endosomes-including sorting & recycling endosomes,Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, Lipid droplets, Glycogen granules

I started this assignment and was going to go withfunction and morphology. Below is what I have so far, but I'mhaving a difficult time coming up with a short phrase for each anddistinguishing between the organelles that can change shape/morphand those that cannot. I am open to changing the categories that Ihave chosen to chunk. I've never used this technique before so it'sa new concept for me.
