Study Notes
Cell Organelles
- The ribosome is responsible for the synthesis of proteins in a cell.
Plant Cells vs. Animal Cells
- A cell wall is present in plant cells but not in animal cells.
Cellular Functions
- The cytoskeleton is responsible for maintaining the cell's shape, providing mechanical support, and enabling cell movement.
Characteristics of Microorganisms
- The presence of a true nucleus is NOT a characteristic feature of bacteria, protists, and fungi.
Cell Wall Functions
- The primary function of the cell wall in bacteria, protists, and fungi is to provide structural support and maintain the cell's shape.
Beneficial Roles of Microorganisms
- One beneficial role of bacteria, protists, or fungi is to decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients.
Unique Structural Features
- A unique structural feature of both bacteria and fungi is the presence of a cell wall.
Common Features of Protists and Fungi
- A common feature shared by protists and fungi but not present in bacteria is the presence of a true nucleus.
Beneficial Roles of Microorganisms
- Another beneficial role of bacteria, protists, or fungi is to fix nitrogen and make it available to other organisms.
