Document Summary

Nucleus: contains dna, which stores and replicates genetic information of the cell. Each molecule of dna in the nucleus combines with an equal mass of protein to form a chromosome. Thick uid called nucleoplasm lls the nucleus and a network of protein bres called nuclear matrix provides internal structure and support. Nucleus us surrounded by nuclear envelope (double membrane of two phospholipid bilayer). Rough endoplasmic reticulum: surface region devoted to protein synthesis of proteins are studded with ribosomes. Ribosomes are molecular aggregates or protein and rna, synthesized in chromatin. Assembles proteins that are a part of the membrane or are intended for export from the cell. Proteins that function in the cytosol are made by ribosomes and are freely suspended here. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: regions that have no bound ribosomes. Synthesizes lipids and lipid containing molecules such as phospholipids that make up the membrane. For example, in the liver it detoxi es drugs and alcohol.
