    Study Notes

    Functions of Cell Organelles

    • Nucleus: Controls cell activities, housing the genetic material (DNA), and coordinating cell growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
    • Mitochondria: Main site for cellular respiration, converting nutrients into energy (ATP) through metabolic processes like the Krebs cycle.
    • Ribosomes: Synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA), essential for cell structure and function.
    • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles, playing a crucial role in cellular transport.
    • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, detoxifies drugs and poisons, and stores calcium ions, lacking ribosomes on its surface.
    • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste, cellular debris, and foreign materials, recycling cellular components efficiently.
