For my ANC horse management assignment I have to draw a cell with these 15 components:

Plasma membrane
Cytoplasma
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Vacuole
Centrioles
Golgi body
Rough/Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome's
Ribosome's
Mitochondria
Matrix
Secretory vesicles
Micropinocytic vesicle

I have absolutely hammered google images and cannot find a cell diagram with all these organelles on, I started the course late - after everyone had finished this assignment so did not get a chance to look in the textbooks or see diagrams the teachers show you, could anybpdy please help me find one so I know what these look like, particularly the Matrix, and Micropinocytic vesicle as these are the ones missing.

Any help whatsoever would be appreciated as I am really starting to panic now. Thanks.

Hi,

pinocytosis means cell drinking and is where liquids are absorbed into the cell creating small vesicles. To draw micropinocytic vesicles just draw small vesicles (circles surrounded by plasma membrane) in the cell and lable them.

Matrix is a bit of an odd one, usually you would talk about extracellular matrix (ie outside of the cell) which is made of long fibrous type molecules such as proteins. I don't know what they mean if the matrix is supposed to be within the cell.

I doubt that you would be able to find a diagram on the internet with these features labelled.

My biochemistry is quite rusty but I hope this helps.
