Cell Organization
The eukaryotic cell can be divided into two major parts: the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
The cytoplasm is the fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm as well, even though they do not have a nucleus

The Nucleus
In the same way that the main office controls a large factory, the nucleus is the control center of the cell.
The nucleus contains nearly all the cell’s DNA and, with it, the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.
The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope composed of two membranes.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
The Nucleus
Most nuclei also contain a small, dense region known as the nucleolus.
The nucleolus is where the assembly of ribosomes begins.

Vacuoles and Vesicles
Many cells contain large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures called
vacuoles that store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and
carbohydrates.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Vacuoles and Vesicles
Nearly all eukaryotic cells contain smaller membrane-enclosed structures called vesicles. Vesicles are used to store and move materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface.

Lysosomes
Lysosomes are small organelles filled with enzymes that function as the cell’s cleanup crew. Lysosomes perform the vital function of removing “junk” that might otherwise accumulate and clutter up the cell.

Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
The Cytoskeleton
Eukaryotic cells are given their shape and internal organization by a network of protein filaments known as the cytoskeleton.
Certain parts of the cytoskeleton also help to transport materials between different parts of the cell, much like conveyer belts that carry materials from one part of a factory to another.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Microfilaments
Microfilaments are threadlike structures made up of a protein called actin.
They form extensive networks in some cells and produce a tough, flexible framework that supports the cell.
Microfilaments also help cells move.
Microfilament assembly and disassembly is responsible for the cytoplasmic movements that allow cells, such as amoebas, to crawl along surfaces.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Microtubules Microtubules are hollow structures made up of proteins known as tubulins.
They play critical roles in maintaining cell shape.
Microtubules are also important in cell division, where they form a structure known as the mitotic spindle, which helps to separate chromosomes.
Centrioles are located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division.
Centrioles are not found in plant cells.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Ribosomes
Ribosomes are small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells.
Ribosomes produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from DNA.
Each ribosome is like a small machine in a factory, turning out proteins on orders that come from its DNA “boss.”
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Eukaryotic cells contain an internal membrane system known as the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER.
The endoplasmic reticulum is where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.

Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The portion of the ER involved in the synthesis of proteins is called rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER. It is given this name because of the ribosomes found on its surface.
Newly made proteins leave these ribosomes and are inserted into the rough ER, where they may be chemically modified.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The other portion of the ER is known as smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) because ribosomes are not found on its surface.
In many cells, the smooth ER contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks, including the synthesis of membrane lipids and the detoxification of drugs.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Golgi Apparatus
Proteins produced in the rough ER move next into the Golgi apparatus, which appears as a stack of flattened membranes.
The proteins are bundled into tiny vesicles that bud from the ER and carry them to the Golgi apparatus.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell.

Organelles That Capture and Release Energy
All living things require a source of energy. Most cells are powered by food molecules that are built using energy from the sun.
Chloroplasts and mitochondria are both involved in energy conversion processes within the cell.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Chloroplasts
Plants and some other organisms contain chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are the biological equivalents of solar power plants. They capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Mitochondria
Nearly all eukaryotic cells, including plants, contain mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell. They convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.

Cellular Boundaries
Similarly, cells are surrounded by a barrier known as the cell membrane.
Many cells, including most prokaryotes, also produce a strong supporting layer around the membrane known as a cell wall.
Plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes have cell walls. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Cell Membranes
All cells contain a cell membrane that regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
Cell Membranes
The composition of nearly all cell membranes is a double-layered sheet called a lipid bilayer, which gives cell membranes a flexible structure and forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings.
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
The Fluid Mosaic Model
Because the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer can move around and “float” among the lipids, and because so many different kinds of molecules make up the cell membrane, scientists describe the cell membrane as a “fluid mosaic.”
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Cell StructureCell Structure
The Fluid Mosaic Model
Some of the proteins form channels and pumps that help to move material across the cell membrane.
Many of the carbohydrate molecules act like chemical identification cards, allowing individual cells to identify one another.
