Study Notes
Animal Cell Structure
- An animal cell is a complex structure with various organelles.
- The cell membrane encloses the cell's contents and regulates what enters and exits.
- The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance filling the cell; it contains various organelles.
- The nucleus is the control center, containing genetic material (DNA).
- The nucleolus is found within the nucleus and is the site of ribosome production.
- Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy.
- Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes; the rough ER has ribosomes, and the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis.
- The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins for secretion.
- Vesicles transport materials within the cell.
- Lysosomes contain enzymes to break down waste and materials.
