Term
The nucleus
Definition
contains most of the cell's DNA and controls the cell's activites by directing protein systhesis by making messenger(mRNA).
Term
DNA
Definition
is associated with many proteins in structures called chromosomes.
Term
The nuclear envelope
Definition
double membrane which has pores that allows material to flow in and out of the nucleus.
Term
Network
Definition
The nuclear envelope is attached to a______ of cellular membranes called the endoplasmic reticulum
Term
The nucleolus
Definition
is a prominent structure in the nucleus and the site of ribosomal (rRNa) synthesis.
Term
Ribosomes
Definition

Complex made up of proteins and RNA

Site of protein synthesis

Made up of two subunits, produced in the nucleolus

Subunits are then exported into cytoplasm

In the cytoplasm they are assembled into a functional ribosome

Term
free ane others are bound
Definition
some ribosomes are
Term
suspended in cytoplasm
Definition
Free ribosomes are__________ and typically involved in making proteins that function within the cytoplasm.
Term
attached to the endoplasmic(ER)
Definition
Bound Ribosomes areĀ __________ associated with the nuclear envelope and associated with proteins packed in certain organelles or exported from the cell.
