A Spotlight on Research
CELLULAR ORGANELLES
![Page 2: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What are organelles?
Organelles are membrane-bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.
Today we will learn the functions of the organelles by studying real scientific research.

Scientific Research
Scientists perform experiments to test hypotheses. Scientific theories explain phenomena or events in nature. Theories are
based on evidence.

The NUCLEUS:The nucleus was the first
organelle discovered. It was observed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1719.
The nucleus is the control center of the cell, where genetic information is stored as DNA.

RIBOSOMES:
Ribosomes are organelles made from RNA and proteins.
They are made in a part of the nucleus called the nucleolus.
Ribosomes are important for making proteins from instructions stored in DNA.

RIBOSOMES:While they are represented as dots on
many cell diagrams, ribosomes actually have a very complex structure.
3 scientists won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering the structure of ribosomes. Scientists had been trying to do this since the 1960’s.

RIBOSOMES:Ribosomes are located in 2 places inside
the cell:
Membrane-bound ribosomes are found in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Free ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm.

The ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)Scientists believe that the ER developed
from infoldings of the plasma membrane.There are two types of ER:
1) Rough ER contains ribosomes and makes proteins.
2) Smooth ER has no ribosomes and makes lipids.

The GOLGI BODY:
The Golgi body is responsible for processing and packaging proteins.
Proteins from the Golgi go on to either the cell membrane or other organelles.
![Page 11: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The GOLGI BODY:Scientists use a protein called Green
fluorescent protein (GFP) to “track” the movement of proteins through the cell.

The CELL MEMBRANE:The cell membrane is composed of a lipid
bilayer with some proteins on its surface
![Page 13: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The CELL MEMBRANE:Gorter & Grendel performed an
experiment that proved the existence of a bilayer.
They found the area of red blood cell membranes was two times the area of the cells themselves.

The CELL MEMBRANE:Functions of the cell membrane:
1) Separates the cell from its surroundings
2) Selectively permeable – lets some things in and keeps other things out
3) Structure

The MITOCHONDRION:Mitochondria are the energy producing
organelles in all eukaryotic cells.The energy in mitochondria is in the form
of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
![Page 16: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The MITOCHONDRION:
Research provides evidence for the endosymbiotic theory, the idea that mitochondria and some other organelles originated as prokaryotes that were engulfed b a eukaryotic cell.

The CHLOROPLAST:Found only in plant cells.The chlorophyll in chloroplasts provide
plants’ green color.Chloroplasts absorb energy from the sun
to make glucose (sugars).This process is called photosynthesis.

![Page 19: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The VACUOLE:While they exist in both plant and animal
cells, plants have a large, central vacuole.
Plant vacuoles can occupy as much as ninety percent of the cell.
![Page 20: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The VACUOLE:
Three functions: 1) Water storage 2) Contains chemicals that protect
the plant 3) Water pressure in the vacuole
supports the cell wall

The CELL WALL:Cell walls, found in
plant cells, are located outside the plasma membrane.
The cell wall was the first structure to be viewed with a microscope.Robert Hooke’s
observation of cork in 1665.
![Page 22: A Spotlight on Research CELLULAR ORGANELLES. What are organelles? Organelles are membrane- bound structures inside cells that carry out specific functions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f325503460f94c4e4b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The CELL WALL:Freeze-fracture techniques and electron
microscopy were used to determine how the cell wall is produced.

Other Important Organelles:Lysosomes – Digest waste and cellular
debrisCytoskeleton – Provide structure and
serve as a transport network for proteins in the cellMolecular motors
Centriole – Specialized organelle used in cell division
Cilia & Flagella – Specialized parts of the cytoskeleton that allow cells to move.
