    Study Notes

    Mitochondria

    • The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration.

    Cytoplasm

    • Protein synthesis and many metabolic reactions take place in the cytoplasm of a cell.

    Ribosomes

    • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, using instructions from the cell's DNA.

    Cell Membrane

    • The cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier, regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

    Lysosome

    • Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and engulfed pathogens within the cell.

    Mitochondria

    • The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

    Cytoplasm

    • Protein synthesis, a process called translation occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

    Ribosomes

    • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

    Plasma Membrane

    • The plasma membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

    Lysosomes

    • Lysosomes are involved in the breakdown and digestion of cellular waste products and foreign substances.

    Cellular Energy Production

    • Mitochondria are the main site for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

    Protein Synthesis

    • Ribosomes are the primary components responsible for synthesizing proteins.

    Plasma Membrane Function

    • The plasma membrane regulates the passage of molecules into and out of the cell, maintains cellular integrity, and facilitates cell signaling.

    Protein Packaging and Modification

    • The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, packaging, and sorting proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

    Detoxification

    • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is primarily involved in detoxifying harmful substances in the cell.
