Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Structures
- The mitochondria is known as the 'power center of the cell' due to its role in generating energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells, converting light energy into chemical energy.
Cellular Organelles and Structures (continued)
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging, processing, and shipping out cellular products, including proteins and lipids.
Cell Division
- The centrioles are involved in the process of cell division, playing a crucial role in the formation of the spindle fibers.
Cell Membrane
- The main function of the cell membrane is to regulate what enters and leaves the cell, maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Cell Types
- Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-covered nucleus, distinguishing them from prokaryotic cells.
Cytoplasm
- The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane, responsible for various cellular activities, including metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell signaling.
Cell Theory
- According to the Cell Theory, all cells arise from pre-existing cells, emphasizing that cells are the basic units of life.
