|
what does the nucleus do?
|
-The control center
-Contains DNA in its chromosomes -Divides when the cell divides |
|
What does the nuclear membrane do?
|
-Surrounds the nucleus(allows certain matiriels to leave and enter)
|
|
What is a nucleolus?
|
-Round organelle in the nucleus(usually a pair)
-Involved with the synthesis of RNA |
|
What are ribosomes?
|
-Sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm
-May be free in the cytolplasm or attatched to the endo plasmic reticulum |
|
What is cytoplasm?
|
-Fluid like matirial between the cell membrane and the nucleus
