NOTES BIO FEB 21st Nucleus functions- acts as the genetic control center of the cell,,,, stores hereditary

y information Nucleolus area of the nucleus, where ribosomal submits are assembled Chromatin/Chromosomes- thin fibers of DNA, which carry all hereditary information. 23x2=46 chromosomes Nuclear membrane- two bi-layers, covered in pores, that surround the nucleus Mitochondria -acts as all-purpose energy converters......Harvest energy to be used for cellular functions cells such as liver cells use a lot of energy! Lysosomes acts as floating garbage disposals for cells, digesting and recycling celluar waste products and consumed material Rough endoplasmic reticulum- modifies proteins that will be shipped to other locations in the endomembrane system Smooth E R synthesizes lipids such as fatty acids, phospholipids Golgi Apparatus- processes and packages proteins lipids, and other molecules for export to other loctations in or outside of the cell Vacuole (plants only)- stores nutrients, retains and degrades waste products, accumulates poisions, provides physical support Chloroplast- site of photosynthesis the conversion of light energy into chemical energy
