Document Summary

Organelle structure and function: organisms are composed of cells, and these cells have specific structures within in them that allow them to carry out their functions. The fine detail of the cell (which may be revealed by an electron microscope) is called the cell"s ultrastructure. Organelles perform different functions within a cell, and this is called the division of labour. Membrane bound organelles: the nucleus is the largest organelle in a cell. It contains a dense structure called the nucleolus and is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a structure composed of two membranes, separated by fluid, which contain a number of nuclear pores that can allow relatively large molecules through. The nucleus contains nearly all of the cell"s genetic material. Endoplasmic reticulum is called so because it has a lot of ribosomes on its outer surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum however, does not have ribosomes.
