Study Notes

Cell Structure and Function

  • Nucleus: Central organelle that regulates all cellular activities, acting as the control center for the cell's functions and genetic material.
  • Cytoplasm: A gel-like substance within the cell membrane, providing a medium for biochemical reactions and supporting cell structure.
  • Cell Membrane: Protective layer that governs the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
  • Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy to produce food for the plant.
  • Vacuole: Large, storage organelle in plant cells that holds nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.
  • Cell Wall: Rigid outer layer found in plant cells, providing structural support and protection, and helping maintain shape.
