3. GOLGI APPARATUS
It is a membranous complex of
vesicles, vacuoles, and
flattened sacs in the cytoplasm
of cells which is involved in
intracellular secretion and
transport.
It is found in all eukaryotic
cells.
It is sometime called as Golgi
Body or Golgi Complex.
4. DISCOVERY
Golgi apparatus was discovered by
Camillo Golgi in 1898.
He developed a method that stained
it intensely and made possible the
demonstration of its occurrence in a
wide variety of cell types.
This method is known as Golgi
Staining.
5. Structure and Composition
Golgi apparatus is composed of
stacks of membrane-bound
structures known as Cisternae.
A cisterna (plural cisternae)
comprises a flattened
membrane disk that makes up
the Golgi apparatus.
Golgi apparatus usually has 6-7
cisternae.
A complex network of tubules
and vesicles is located at the
edges of these cisternae.
7. FUNCTIONS
Golgi apparatus is concerned with cell secretion.
It involves in the creation of lysosomes.
The most important function of this apparatus is to modify the
proteins and lipids by adding carbohydrates and converting
them into glycoproteins or glycolipids.
8. CYTOSEKELTON
Cytoplasm contains a
complex network of filaments
and microtubules which form
a structural framework known
as Cytoskeleton.
9. Structure and Composition
The primary components
of the cytoskeleton are
microtubules,
microfilaments and
intermediate filaments.
10. Structure and Composition
Microtubules:
Microtubules are long, unbranched, slender tubulin protein
structures. One very important function of it is their role in the
assembly and disassembly of the spindle structure during
mitosis.
Intermediate filaments:
They have diameter in b/w those of microtubules &
microfilaments. They play role in the maintenance of cell shape.
11. Structure and Composition
Microfilaments:
They are considerably more slender cylinders made up
of actin protein. They involved in internal cell motion.
12.
13. FUNCTIONS
It provides structural support to the cell.
It involves in cell motility, cell division and regulation.
It plays an important role in intracellular transport.
It often protects the cell.
14. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is a extensive network of
folded membranes that
extends from the nuclear
envelope to which it is
connected throughout the
cytoplasm.
15. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum is divided into two
sub-compartments.
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum
16. SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
In some cell it is responsible
for transmission of impulses
(muscle cell, nerve cell).
It plays an important role in
the transport of materials
from one part of the cell to
the other.
17. Structure and Composition
It is a branching tube
structure which is held
by cytoskeleton.
In smooth endoplasmic
reticulum ribosomes are
not attached, therefore
its surface is smooth.
It contains collection of
enzymes.
18. FUNCTIONS
Synthesis of fatty acids and steroid hormones
such as estrogens and testosterone.
Detoxification in the liver of a wide variety of
organic compounds, including barbiturates & ethanol.
Metabolize different types of molecules particularly lipids.
19. LYSOSOME
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic
organelles.
Lysosome founds in almost all
eukaryotic cells.
Lysosomes have digestive
enzymes.
20. LYSOSOME
They are most abundant in those
animal cells which exhibit phagocytic
activity.
21. Structure and Composition
They are bounded by a single
membrane and are simple sacs
rich in acid phosphates and
several other hydrolytic enzymes.
The membrane acts as a
protective barrier that protects
the rest of the cell from the
enzymes that are contained
within the lysosome.
22. FUNCTIONS
It is involved in the autophagy (self eating).
Any foreign object that gains entry into the cell
is immediately engulfed by the lysosome and is
completely broken into simple digestible pieces.
This process is known as phagocytosis (eating
process of a cell).
23. CENTRIOLE
Hollow cylindrical organelles
present in animals and many
unicellular living organisms.
Animal cells, cells of some
microorganisms and lower
plants contain two centrioles
located near the exterior
surface of the nucleus.
These two centrioles are
collectively called as
centrosome.
24. Structure and Composition
Centrioles are made up of nine
microtubule triplets.
These microtubule triplet is made
up of tubulin protein.
Centrioles are also the part of
cytoskeleton.
25. Structure and Composition
The two centrioles are usually placed right angle to each
other.
They are absent in higher plants.
26. FUNCTIONS
They made spindle fibers during cell division.
They play important role in the formation of cilia.
They involves in the location of furrowing during cell division.
