Nucleus Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
The nucleus contains the genetic material
1. The nucleus is the largest organelle in the cell and is bounded by an envelope consisting of a
double membrane.
2. Genetic material is concentrated in one part of the nucleus.
3. Nuclear pores provide the means for transport across the envelope for large molecules to enter
or leave the nucleus.
DNA is spread out and appears as DNA is condensed & wrapped around
chromatin in non-dividing cells proteins forming as chromosomes
in dividing cells

Nucleolus
• Inside nucleus
• Disappears when cell divides
• The site of ribosomes biogenesis

Ribosomes
They are floating in the cytosol (make proteins that will be used inside) or
on ER (will be used inside and export)

Transport
vesicle
Transport of proteins between membrane-bounded compartments occur when
vesicles containing the proteins bud from one compartment and subsequently
fuse with another compartment

Cytoplasm Mitochondria
Mitochondria are energy factories
Key concept
All living cells have a means of converting energy supplied by the environment into the
common intermediate of ATP
Function: -converts energy stored in food into usable energy for work – cellular
respiration/ (burning glucose)/ power house of the cell/ (Generate cellular energy (ATP))
Is the Mitochondria genome still functional?
Mitochondria are special because they have their own ribosomes and DNA
floating in the matrix
Mitochondria are thought to have originated from an ancient symbiosis that resulted
when a nucleated cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote
Enveloped organelles could have evolved when one cell ingested another.
Interesting Fact ---
Therefore …
Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used
by cells
