Document Summary

Nucleus- surrounded by nuclear envelope that is perforated by the nuclear pores. Outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Endoplasmic reticulum (er)- site of synthesis of new membranes. Rough er has ribosomes attached to the outside. The ribosomes synthesize proteins that are sent into the er. Smooth er- synthesizes steroid hormones, sequesters calcium from cytosol. Golgi apparatus- modifies proteins and lipids from er. Particles pass through endosomes that organize the ingested molecules and cycle some back to the plasma membrane. Peroxisomes- carry out oxidative reactions, break down lipids and toxic molecules. Organelles surrounded by cytosol that is enclosed by the plasma membrane. Organelles held in place by attachment to cytoskeleton by microtubules, moved by cytoskeletal filaments. Communicate extensively with small vesicles that bud off. Before cell division, the proteins that are being produced must be delivered to the correct organelle.
