    Study Notes

    Function of Mitochondria

    • Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, the process of converting nutrients into energy
    • They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell
    • This energy is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is used by the cell to perform various functions

    Role of Enzymes

    • Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of chemical reactions within a cell
    • They do this by lowering the activation energy required for reactions to occur
    • They are specific to certain reactions and are essential for many biological processes

    Cell Membrane Regulation

    • The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, regulates what enters and exits the cell.
    • It is selectively permeable, meaning it allows some substances to pass through while blocking others
    • This regulation maintains the internal environment of the cell and allows for the exchange of nutrients and waste products

    Phenotype

    • Phenotype refers to the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism
    • It is determined by the interaction of an organism's genotype (genetic makeup) with the environment
    • Examples of phenotypes include eye color, height, and disease susceptibility.

    Chloroplast Function

    • Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis
    • Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose
    • This process uses carbon dioxide and water as reactants and releases oxygen as a byproduct
