Document Summary

10% of volume for 1 endoplasmic reticulum. 6% of volume for 1-5 golgi body/apparatus. 2% of volume for few-1000s lysosomes & other vesicles. Nuclear envelope (two lb membranes) with pores to help control exchange of materials in and out. Nucleolus is the site of ribosome assembly. Information store, site of dna replication, transcription: rna synthesis, ribosome assembly. Made up of endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus. Both are composed of flat, narrow spaces enclosed by membrane sheets. Work together in the synthesis of many macromolecules, especially those that function in membranes and those that are secreted out of the cell. Er: protein and lipid synthesis and modification. Golgi: further modifies proteins and lipids, sorts, and packages them for secretion. Vesicles are small membrane bound packages, usually roughly spherical. Lysosomes contain degradative enzymes in an acid environment, can be used to break down and recycle worn-out cellular components and can fuse with engulfed particles to digest the contents.
