Animal Cell Structure And Organelles
  1. Nucleolus
    1. Where ribosomes are made
      1. Ribosomes are made of RNA and several proteins
        1. They are a necessary part in protein synthesis
      2. Nuclear Envelope
        1. A double membrane layer that surrounds the nucleolus
          1. Dotted with thousands of nuclear pores
            1. Allow materials to move in and out of the nucleus
          2. Chromatin
            1. Compacted string of DNA
              1. Found in the nucleus
                1. Chromosomes are formed from chromatin
                2. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
                  1. Performs the synthesis of proteins
                    1. Transports many biochemical products
                      1. Dotted with ribosomes - hence the 'rough' ER
                      2. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
                        1. Synthesises carbohydrates and lipids
                        2. Golgi Apparatus
                          1. To carry out the processing of proteins from the rough ER
                            1. Helps with the transportation of lipids around the cell and with the creation of lysosomes
                            2. Mitochondria
                              1. Performs respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphospahte)
                              2. Ribosomes
                                1. Synthesise proteins out of mRNA
