Document Summary

This means that they contain membrane-bound organelles that carry out their own specialized functions. In chapter 14, we already examined the functions of mitochondria and chloroplasts. In this chapter, we will consider the functions of other organelles, and learn how proteins are targeted to the correct organelle. This section will survey the basic features of eukaryotic cells, and begin the topic of protein targeting. All eucaryotic cells have the same basic set of membrane-enclosed organelles. The organization of a typical eukaryotic cell is shown in figure 12-1. The various organelles are labeled and briefly described. At this point, you should be familiar with the general function of all organelles. The cytoplasm is the area inside the plasma membrane, while the term cytosol refers to the area that is inside the plasma membrane but outside the organelles. The mitochondria and chloroplasts are evolutionarily derived from an ancient endosymbiotic relationship. These two organelles exist rather independently from other organelles.
