Study Set Content:
Contains genetic information
ChromatinChromosomes
ChromatinChromosomes location
in nucleus
forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae within cells
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
studded with protein manufacturing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance
Rough E.R.
connected to the nuclear envelop
Smooth E.R.
Smooth E.R. Not studded with ribosomes giving it a
smooth appearance
Components of cells that make proteins from amino acids
Ribosomes
Serve as a temporary storage area
Vacuole
Workhorses of protein biosynthesis - the process of translating mRNA into protein
Ribosomes
A fluid filled membrane – bounded sac within the cytoplasm that contains a solution of salts, ions, pigments and other materials
Vacuole
are made from complexes of RNAs and proteins
Ribosome
Occupies 90% of the volume of the cell
Vacuole
binds to the mRNA
SMALLER SUBUNIT
binds to the tRNA and the amino acids
Larger Subunit
– vacuolar membrane
Tonoplast
cellular "scaffolding" or "skeleton" contained within the cytoplasm and is made of proteins
Cytoskeleton
support the structure of a cell and transport materials/organelles throughout the cell
Cytoskeleton
cytoskeleton made of
Microtubules and Microfilaments
(thin hollow cylinders)
Microtubules
thin solid cylinders
Microfilaments
