Science Lecture Slides

Links below are to Science lecture slides which cover cell organelles in more detail over 3 lectures.

Lecture- Cell Compartments This lecture is an introduction to compartments within the cell and membranes. The key components are: cell compartments, membrane structure, membrane models, membrane specializations.

Lecture- Cell Organelles 1 This lecture is an introduction to cellular organelles, beginning with those organelles involved in protein synthesis and export. The key components are: nucleus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, transport vesicles, secretory vesicles, endosomes.

Lecture- Cell Organelles 2 This lecture continues the introduction to cellular organelles, looking at oganelles involved in endocytosis, digestion and energy production. The key components are: lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, transport vesicles, secretory vesicles, endosomes.
