Study Notes
Cellular Functions
- Mitochondria are the primary site of cellular respiration, responsible for generating energy for the cell through the process of ATP production.
Plant Water Transport
- Transpiration is the process by which water moves through a plant, from the roots to the leaves, and is then released into the air as water vapor.
Protein Synthesis
- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle responsible for producing and modifying proteins in a cell.
Genetic Inheritance
- Heredity is the process by which an organism's genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.
Basic Units of Life
- Cells are the basic structural and functional units of an organism, commonly referred to as the 'building blocks of life'.
