The following points highlight the eleven main organelles that eukaryotic cytoplasm possess. The organelles are: 1. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) 2. Golgi Complex 3. Lysosomes 4. Peroxisomes 5. Glyoxysomes 6. Spherosomes 7. Vacuole 8. Centrosome 9. Ribosomes 10. Chloroplast 11. Mitochondria. Organelle # 1. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Endoplasmic reticulum is a highly convoluted sheet of membranes extending from the nuclear membrane. [...]
The following points highlight the six main components of the nucleus found in cells. The components are: 1. Nuclear Envelope 2. Nuclear Lamina 3. Nucleoplasm (Nuclear Sap) 4. Nucleolus 5. Chromatin Fibres 6. Nuclear Matrix. Component # 1. Nuclear Envelope: The nuclear envelope is made up of two concentric membranes, each of 7-8 nm thickness. The space between the two [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria 2. Function of Mitochondria 3. Reproduction. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria: In 1953, Palade and Sjostrand independently described the ultrastructure of mitochondria. Mitochondria are bounded by an envelope consisting of two concentric membranes, the outer and inner membranes. The space between the two membranes is called inter-membrane space. A number of [...]
