Cytoplasm is made up of cytosol. In prokaryotes all the cell content is within the cytoplasm whereas with eukaryotes the nucleus is separate from the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless (4).
Eukaryotes only contains the following:
Mitochondria are found in both plant and animals cells and are shaped like a rod. A mitochondrion contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and proteins (5). The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy …show more content…
Camillo Golgi, an Italian scientist was the first to discover it and named it after himself. They are membrane bound organelles which are shaped like a sack. The Golgi is made up of stacks of membrane-bound structures. At each end of the stack there is a face which helps with the function of the Golgi. One end of the stack is called cis face and the other end is called tans face. The cis face controls what goes in and the Trans face controls what goes out therefore the cis face will be located near the endoplasmic reticulum. The main function of the Golgi apparatus is to amend, categorize and set the macromolecules that are synthesized by the cells for use within the cell. Golgi modifies the proteins that are prepared by the rough endoplasmic reticulum. They help with transport of lipid molecules around the cells also involved in the production of lysosomes.
Lysosomes, one single lysosome contains a numerous amount of enzymes. They are found mainly in animals cells however still can be located in plant cells. They have a spherical shape which break down nearly all types of macromolecules such as peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. The outer surface is formed by a single membrane that can fuse with other membrane-bound
