COMPOSITION AND
ORGANELLES DESCRIPTION METABOLIC FUNCTIONS

Nucleus The nucleus is a highly The cell nucleus is a membrane-

specialized organelle that serves
as the information processing and
administrative center of the cell.
Mitochondria Often referred to as the
powerhouses of the cell.
bound structure that contains a
cell's hereditary information and
controls its growth and
reproduction. It is the command
center of a eukaryotic cell and is
usually the most notable cell
organelle in both size and
function.
Have a double membrane
arrangement which separates the
organelle into four distinct
compartments - the outer
membrane, the intermembrane
space, the inner membrane, and
the matrix. Use aerobic
respiration to generate most of
the cell's supply of adenosine

Endoplasmic Reticulum A smooth endoplasmic
Smooth ER reticulum, or smooth ER, is the
organelle in organic cells which
manufactures products for other
parts of the cell.
Rough ER is a series of
Rough ER connected flattened sacs, part of
a continuous membrane organelle
within the cytoplasm of
eukaryotic cells, that plays a
central role in the synthesis of
proteins.
Golgi complex A stack of small flat sacs formed
by membranes inside the cell's
cytoplasm (gel-like fluid).
Lysosome Lysosomes are specialized
vesicles within cells that digest
large molecules through the use
of hydrolytic enzymes.
Peroxisome Peroxisomes play a key role in
the oxidation of specific
biomolecules. They also
triphosphate (ATP), which is
subsequently used throughout the
cell as a source of chemical
energy.
The major function of the smooth
endoplasmic reticulum is the
detoxification of the body from
drugs consumed and metabolic
wastes produced. It synthesizes
lipids, phospholipids as in
plasma membranes, and
steroids.Smooth ER lacks
attached ribosomes. Typically,
the smooth ER is a tubule
network
The major function of the rough
endoplasmic reticulum is protein
synthesis and their folding into
proper quaternary structures.
Rough ER has ribosomes
attached to the cytoplasmic side
of the membrane.
The major functions of the Golgi
bodies involve modifying,
sorting, and packaging of
proteins produced by the
ribosomes. It is made up of a
series of flattened stacked
pouches called cisternae. It is
located in the cytoplasm next to
the endoplasmic reticulum and
near the cell nucleus.
Lysosomes are defined as sphere-
shaped vesicles or sacs filled
with hydrolytic enzymes that
have the ability to break down
almost all types of biomolecules.
They are widely known as
terminal catabolic stations that
rid cells of waste products and
scavenge metabolic building
blocks that sustain essential
biosynthetic reactions during
starvation.
The main function of peroxisome
is the lipid metabolism and the
processing of reactive oxygen
 contribute to the biosynthesis of
membrane lipids known as
plasmalogens.

species. Peroxisomes vary in
shape, size and number
depending upon the energy
requirements of the cell. These
are made of a phospholipid
bilayer with many membrane-
bound proteins.
