BMSC101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Endoplasmic Reticulum, Nuclear Membrane, Lipid Bilayer
· Microfilaments (actin filaments)
o Thin, flexible, short fibres concentrated below the plasma membrane
throughout the cell
o Binds to other proteins
o Function: enables cell to move (pseudopodia) and allows cells to contract
(along with myosin)
o
· Centrosome
o Centre of growth of microtubles
o Consists of a pair of centrioles at right angles
o Used in mitosis and meiosis
· Centrioles
· Ribosomes
o Made of rRNA and proteins
o Not enclosed by membrane
o Function: manufacture proteins
o Free in cytoplasm or attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum

Document Summary
Microfilaments (actin filaments: thin, flexible, short fibres concentrated below the plasma membrane throughout the cell, binds to other proteins, function: enables cell to move (pseudopodia) and allows cells to contract (along with myosin) Centrosome: centre of growth of microtubles, consists of a pair of centrioles at right angles, used in mitosis and meiosis. Ribosomes: made of rrna and proteins, not enclosed by membrane, function: manufacture proteins, free in cytoplasm or attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum. 1. 6 list the organelles that have a double membrane and explain why. No membrane: mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic, lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, ribosomes, centrioles, nucleolus reticulum, golgi body, nucleus. 1. 7 describe in general terms the role of the nucleus in the cell, including the: Nuclear envelope: aka nuclear membrane, made of two lipid bilayer membranes (inner and outer nuclear membrane) Nuclear pores: holes in the nuclear envelope/membrane that allows materials to move between the cytosol and the nucleus.
