Flashcards
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
The powerhouse of the cell, responsible for generating energy through cellular respiration.
Golgi Apparatus
Golgi Apparatus
A cellular organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion.
DNA Structure
DNA Structure
A double-stranded helix composed of nucleotides, carrying genetic information.
Study Notes
Cellular Organelles
- The mitochondria is often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell, responsible for generating most of the energy that the cell needs to function, through a process called cellular respiration.
Golgi Apparatus
- The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and modify proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, and then package them for transport out of the cell or to other parts of the cell.
DNA Structure
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded molecule, where two complementary strands of nucleotides are twisted together in a double helix structure, with adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairing with cytosine (C).
