    Study Notes

    Cell Structure and Function

    • A cell consists of three main parts: nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.
    • The cell membrane is a thin, flexible, and elastic structure that is semipermeable, allowing certain substances to pass through while excluding others.
    • The basic structure of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, with large globular protein molecules interspersed in it.

    Nucleus

    • The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains large quantities of DNA, which determine the characteristics of the cell's proteins.
    • The nucleus controls cytoplasmic and nuclear activities.

    Cytoplasm

    • Cytoplasm is the clear fluid portion of the cell that contains dissolved proteins, electrolytes, and glucose.
    • It also contains neutral fat globules, glycogen granules, ribosomes, secretory vesicles, and important organelles.

    Cytoplasmic Organelles

    • Rough ER: involved in protein synthesis and transport
    • Smooth ER: involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification
    • Golgi Apparatus: involved in protein modification and transport
    • Lysosomes: contain digestive enzymes and are responsible for cellular digestion
    • Mitochondria: the "powerhouses" of the cell, responsible for energy production

    Cell Membrane Transport

    • Passive transport: movement of molecules from high to low concentration without energy expenditure
      • Simple diffusion
      • Osmosis
      • Facilitated diffusion
    • Active transport: movement of molecules from low to high concentration with energy expenditure
      • Primary active transport
      • Secondary active transport
    • Bulk transport: movement of large molecules through the cell membrane
      • Endocytosis
      • Exocytosis
