The cellular organelle story!

Lets start writing the story of the cellular organelles in a way that will help you develop a sequence of remembering things.
1. Nucleus 2. Nucleoli 3. Nuclear Pores 4. Ribosomes 5. Endoplasmic Reticulum - Rough and Smooth 6. Golgi Apparatus 7. Exocytosis 8. Endocytosis 9. Lysosomes and Peroxisomes 10. Mitochondria 11. Cytoskeleton 12. Centrioles.

Have fun!!!

Cell Membrane

Would anyone like to have a go at explaining the following:
1. What is meant by a phospholipid bilayer?
2. How do the terms hydrophilic and hydrophic fit in terms of the plasma membrane?
3. What do we mean when we refer to integral/cross membranous proteins?
4. What are the functions of:
     a. Cross membrane proteins
     b. Peripheral proteins on the inside of the cell and on the outside of the cell
     c. Glycoproteins
     d. Glycolipds
     e. Glycocalyx.
lets start blogging!

Cell Organelles


Hi everyone, Sophie & I thought that you all did a great job this morning with your Organelle posters. I have uploaded them to the blog & hope that you can see them ok (I apologise for the slight blurriness of a couple of them).

We would like you to use them as a learning resource and comment on what you understood from the presentation or any other useful information you come across.

Thanks,
Renee
