Q

Nucleus structure and function.

A

Nuclear envelope: Seperates nucleus and cytoplasm.
Nuclear pores: Allows MRNA to leave the nucleus.
Nucleoplasm: DNA attached to histone proteins (DNA wrapped around histone=chromatin).
Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes.

Q

Rough endoplasmic reticulum structure and function.

A

S: Studded with 80s ribosomes, attached to the nucleus, made of flattened sacs called Cisternae (attached).
F: Site of protein synthesis and transports proteins (makes vesicles out of phospholipids that contain proteins made in the rer which then go to the golgi body).
