    Study Notes

    • The speaker shares memories of exciting science classroom experiences, including observing an amoeba under a microscope.
    • Modern cell theory includes three main points: cells are the basic unit of life, all living things are made of cells, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.
    • Amoebas are single-celled organisms, while humans are multicellular.
    • Prokaryotes (like bacteria) have no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes (plants, animals, fungi, protists) have membrane-bound organelles.
    • The cell membrane is selectively permeable and keeps the cell stable.
    • Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance found inside the cell, and cells have a cytoskeleton for support and movement.
    • Ribosomes, which make proteins, are not membrane-bound organelles.
    • In eukaryotes, the nucleus holds genetic material and controls cell activities, and the endoplasmic reticulum processes and transports molecules.
    • The Golgi apparatus packages and sorts molecules for secretion or transport to the membrane.
    • Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
    • Plant cells can have additional organelles like chloroplasts, which make glucose through photosynthesis, and a cell wall for protection and shape maintenance.
    • Eukaryotic cells have various ways of sending proteins out of the cell, including vesicles from the Golgi apparatus.
