Electron Images of Organelles

By:

Page 1

Mitochondria

Each cell contains at least one mitochondria Is a membrane-enclosed organelle Function: Supply cells with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ATP is used as a source of energy

Page 2

Golgi Bodies

Golgi bodies are made up of stacks of membrane-bound structures (Shown above as a stack of lines) Function: Package and move proteins out of the cell Process proteins from ribosomes in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Page 3

lysosomes

Are membrane bound vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes. Formed in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Function: Breaks down proteins, nucleic acids and old mitochondrias (recycle) Fuse with viruses and bacteria to break them done Page 4

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Is a network of tubules and vesicles Membrane factory for the cell Function: Protein synthesis and transportation Produces the lysosomes Storage and production of glycogen Insertion of membrane proteins Page 5

Ribosomes

Function: RNA translation Protein synthesis

Nucleus

Spherical in shape Denser than surrounding cytoplasm Function: Regulates all cell activity Similar to the human brain Makes exact replicas of its DNA

Page 7

Nucleolus

Spherical in shape Resides within the Nucleus Disappears during cell division Non-membranous and most minute organelle

Function: Synthesis the ribosomes Contribute to the production of protein Produces RNA Page 8

Cell Membrane

Composed of lipids and protein Consist of a double layer of phospholids Function: Forms as a barrier between the inside and out Allows oxygen, carbon dioxide and steroids to pass Page 9
