ResourcesChapter menu The Cell Membrane The cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that determines which substances enter and leave the cell. The selective permeability of the cell is mainly caused by the way phospholipids interact with water. A phospholipid is a lipid made of a phosphate group and two fatty acids.

Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu The Nucleus The nucleus is an internal compartment that houses the cell’s DNA. Most functions of a eukaryotic cell are controlled by the cell’s nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Scattered over the surface of the nuclear envelope are many small channels called nuclear pores. Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Ribosomes and the Endoplasmic Reticulum, continued The part of the ER with attached ribosomes is called the rough ER. The rough ER helps transport proteins that are made by the attached ribosomes. New proteins enter the ER. The portion of the ER that contains the completed protein pinches off to form a vesicle. A vesicle is a small, membrane-bound sac that transports substances in cells. Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 3

The inner membrane is greatly folded, and has a large surface area. Mitochondria have their own DNA. Mitochondria reproduce independently of the cell. Mitochondrial DNA is similar to the DNA of prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria are thought to be descendents of primitive prokaryotes. Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 3
