base pairs (A-T or C-G) in human cells vs. E. coli>
The nuclear envelope w/ pores encloses the nucleus, separating its contents (nucleolus, chromatin) from the cytoplasm

3. CYTOPLASMIC ORGANELLES (“tiny organs”)
A. Ribosomes=not membrane-boundAre particles made of ribosomal RNA & protein.All cells (pro and eukaryote) must have!The smallest and most numerous organelle.
![Page 19: The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143db550346895db06926/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Weighing in at around 150,000 atoms, the ribosome is the engine of life itself, a delightfully intricate cellular gizmo that executes the last piece of the central dogma of biology: information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein. The ribosome transforms mRNA into the proteins that brick-by-biological-brick build bacteria, birds, & biochemists.from HHMI

B. Endoplasmic Reticulum: Biosynthetic Factory
ER is continuous w/ nuclear envelope
Two kinds:1. Smooth ER (SER) that lacks ribosomes2. Rough ER (RER) w/ ribosomes
![Page 23: The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143db550346895db06926/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The functions of Smooth ER include
--synthesizing lipids (testes/ovaries)
--detoxifying poisons
(liver cells)

Functions of Rough ER
The RERHas bound ribosomes so it …Produces proteins, which are then distributed by transport vesicles to other parts of the cell like …

1. Code travels from nucleus to RER 2. Ribosomes use code to make raw
protein which then travels quickly thru ER 3. Goes to Golgi where it is modified 4. Transported to Cell membrane for
secretion

D. Vacuolesmembrane-bound sacks in the
cytoplasm = storage containersIn plant cells (larger), they hold water
& starch.In animal cells, they are like little
ziploc baggies; storage containers for food, H2O & waste.
