Eukaryotic Cell

Centrioles:

- an important part of mitosis

Nucleolus:

- synthesizes ribosomal RNA rRNA

Nucleus:

- contains DNA which is organized into chromosomes

Golgi Apparatus:

- proteins produced in the endoplasmic reticulum are sent here. This organelle send proteins to other places in the cell depending on where they need to go

Endoplasmic Reticulum

outer membrane on nucelar membrane is continous with this organelle

-site of protein synthesis: mRNA is translated here

Nuclear membrane

Lysosome:

- when cellular compnents are no longer functional, they come here to be broken down into more basic compnents that can be reused to build new proteins

Mitochondria:

- site of cellular respiration where clucose is converted into ATP to provide energy for the cell

Ribosomes:

- translates mRNA during protein synthesis
