Table of Contents of Components of the Cell
« on: October 30, 2009, 06:21:54 PM »
Hey guys, I'm trying to write a book on the cell and its components. I was wondering if you knew of any of other components I should add and in what order these should go (throughout the book).

This is the order I thought to put them in, from the outside (of the cell) to the inner components (of the cell):
Different chapters are grouped by spacing, sub-chapters are tabbed under the chapter.

Phospholipid Bilayer

Nucleus
   Nucleolus

Ribosome

Vesicle

Endoplasmic Reticulum
     Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   
     Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Golgi Apparatus

Cytoskeleton

Mitochondria

Vacuole

Cytosol

Lysosome

Centriole

Cytoplasm 

Cilium

Eyespot Apparatus

Myofibril

Acrosome
Autophagosome
Glycosome
Glyoxysome
Hydrogenosome
Melanosome
Mitosome
Parenthesome
Peroxisome

If you have any suggestions, such as adding components (deleting components?) or switching the placement of the chapters and sub-chapters, please advise me.

Any help appreciated.

P.S. What are all the "-somes" called?

Is the book on cells in general, or just specific types of cells?  It might be worth talking about prokaryotic cells v. eukaryotic cells, and if you're including plants (which it seems like since you have glyoxysomes), then you're missing perhaps the most important plant organelle: the chloroplast!

Not on plants! Can you tell me which ones have to do with plants so I can take them out? Are there any that I need to add?

And yes, it is on cells in general.

Thanks
