A Tour Of The Cell
Nucleus
-
Nuclear Envelope
encloses the nucleus separating it from the cytoplasm,is a double membrane;each membrane consists of a lipid bilayer
Nuclear lamina
The nuclear side of the envelope is lined by the lamina,which is composed of proteins and maintains the shape of the nucleus
Chromosomes
DNA is organised into discrete units called chromosomes,each one contains one DNA molecule associated with proteins,called chromatin,condenses to form discrete chromosomes as a cell prepares to divide
Ribosomes
are complexes made of ribosomal RNA and protein,Ribosomes build proteins in two locations in the cytosol and on the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or the nuclear envelope
Cells
Cell fraction
takes cells apart and separates the major organelles from one another,it enables scientists to determine the functions of organelles
Prokaryotic Cells
No Nucleus,DNA in an unbound region called the nucleotide,No membrane-bound organelles,Cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane
(Bacteria and Archaea)
Eukaryotic Cells
DNA in a nucleus that is bounded by a double
membrane,Membrane-bound organelles,Cytoplasm in the region between the plasma
membrane and nucleus,Eukaryotic cells are generally much bigger than prokaryotic cells
(animals,plants and fungi,protists)
Plasma Membrane
is a selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen,nutrients,and waste to service the volume of every cell

Microscopy
light microscope
visible light is passed through a specimen and then through glass lenses, these microscopes are used to visualize cells the lenses refract bending the light so that image is magnified
