Prokaryotes Link to Cell Size
Nucleus • Contains the genes that control the cell; localizing the cell’s DNA • Nuclear envelope - separates the nucleus contents from cytoplasm - double membrane with pores to regulate what enters and exits nucleus
Nucleus • Nucleolus – densely packed RNA and proteins that makes up ribosomes • Chromatin: threads of DNA that makes up the chromosomes and their associated proteins (histones)
Endomembrane System • Membranes physically touch one another or transfer membrane segments through tiny vessicles • Includes: - Nuclear envelope - Endoplasmic reticulum - Golgi apparatus - Lysosomes - Peroxisomes - Cell membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Membranous labryinth extending from the nuclear membrane • Made of tubes and sacs called cisternae
Rough ER: ribosomes stud the cytoplasmic surface • Many types of specialized cells secrete proteins made by the rough ER which are moved in transport vesicles • As the polypeptide chain grows from the ribosomes, it goes into the ERs cisternal space and folds into higher levels • Some proteins (glycoproteins) are covalently bonded to carbohydrates or are embedded in newly synthesized lipid membranes
