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.
