• The largest organelle is usually the nucleus
• The nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope
• The nucleus is the cellular control center
– It contains the DNA that directs the cell’s activities
4.6 The nucleus is the cell’s genetic control center

Ribosomes-non-membrane bound organelles
• Ribosomes are free or attached to the endomembranous system of endoplamic reticulum
• They are where proteins are built.

• The endomembrane system is a collection of membranous organelles
– These organelles manufacture and distribute cell products
– The endomembrane system divides the cell into compartments
– Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is part of the endomembrane system
4.7 Overview: Many cell organelles are related through the endomembrane system

• Smooth ER synthesizes lipids
• In some cells, it regulates carbohydrate metabolism and breaks down toxins and drugs
4.9 Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has a variety of functions

• The Golgi apparatus consists of stacks of membranous sacs
– These receive and modify ER products, then send them on to other organelles or to the cell membrane
4.10 The Golgi apparatus finishes, sorts, and ships cell products

• Lysosomes are sacs of digestive enzymes budded off the Golgi
4.11 Lysosomes digest the cell’s food and wastes

• Lysosomal enzymes
– digest food
– destroy bacteria
– recycle damaged organelles
– function in embryonic development in animals

• Lysosomal storage diseases are hereditary
– They interfere with other cellular functions
– Examples: Pompe’s disease, Tay-Sachs disease
4.12 Connection: Abnormal lysosomes can cause fatal diseases

• Plant cells contain a large central vacuole
– The vacuole has lysosomal and storage functions
4.13 Vacuoles function in the general maintenance of the cell
