    Study Notes

    Organelles of Animal Cells

    • Nucleus: Acts as the cell's control center, housing the cell's DNA.
    • Nucleolus: Located within the nucleus, responsible for the production of ribosomes essential for protein synthesis.
    • Lysosome: Contains enzymes that break down waste and cellular debris, aiding in recycling cellular materials.
    • DNA/Chromosomes: Carrier of genetic information; reside in the nucleus and dictate cellular functions and traits.
    • Centrioles: Cylindrical structures that play a crucial role in cell division by organizing spindle fibers.
    • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER): Synthesizes lipids and steroids, detoxifies harmful substances, and stores calcium ions.
    • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER): Has ribosomes on its surface; plays a key role in synthesizing and transporting proteins throughout the cell.
    • Ribosomes: Small structures that are vital for protein synthesis, translating mRNA into polypeptides.
    • Cytoskeleton: A network of fibers providing structural support, enabling cell shape maintenance, and facilitating organelle movement.
    • Mitochondria: Known as the powerhouse of the cell, they generate ATP through cellular respiration, supplying energy for cellular activities.
    • Cell Membrane: A phospholipid bilayer that protects the cell, regulating the entrance and exit of substances.
    • Cytoplasm: The semi-fluid matrix that fills the cell, hosting organelles and supporting cellular reactions.
    • Golgi Body: Functions in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
    • Vesicles: Membrane-bound sacs that transport and store various substances within the cell, facilitating intracellular communication.
