- Membranous
- membrane extensions containing microfilaments and increase surface area for absorption
- fine protein filaments or tubes, – Strength and support – Intracellular movement of structures and materials
- STRUCTURE: RNA and proteins – Fixed: attached to endoplasmic reticulum – Free: scattered in cytoplasm
- • STRUCTURE: vesicles containing degradative enzymes • FUNCTION: – Catabolism of fats/other organic compounds – Neutralization of toxic compounds
- • STRUCTURE: vesicles containing digestive enzymes • FUNCTION: – Removal of damaged organelles or pathogen
- Golgi apparatus / Golgi Body
- • STRUCTURE: – Double membrane – Inner membrane contains metabolic enzymes • FUNCTION: production of 95% of cellular ATP
- • STRUCTURE: – Fluid nucleoplasm containing enzymes, proteins, DNA, and nucleotides – Surrounded by double membrane • FUNCTION: – Control of metabolism – Storage/processing of genetic information – Control of protein synthesis
