Study Notes

Cell Organelles

  • Mitochondria: compact spheres containing DNA and proteins, separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane, sites of energy generation (ATP molecules) for the cell.
  • Lysosomes: vesicles/sacs from the Golgi apparatus, containing enzymes for digestion.
  • Vacuoles: membrane-bound cavities containing liquid, food, or secretions, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Cell Types

  • Prokaryotes: DNA exists 'free' in the cytoplasm, contains no membrane-bound organelles.
  • Eukaryotes: DNA contained inside a membrane-bound nucleus, contains several membrane-bound organelles.

Microorganisms

  • Protozoa: no cell wall, motile, exclusively heterotrophic, unicellular or multicellular, reproduction - asexual & sexual.
  • Microalgae: autotrophs, cell wall - cellulose, chloroplasts - photosynthetic, unicellular, multicellular, filamentous, or colonial, reproduction - asexual & sexual.
  • Microfungi: cell wall - cellulose or chitin, reproduction - spores (asexual/sexual)/budding, unicellular, multicellular, filamentous, examples - yeast, moulds.

Other

  • Cytoplasm: the fluid of the cell, occupies most of the cell volume, site of most cellular activity/biochemical reactions.
  • Ribosomes: large molecules involved in protein synthesis (assembly of amino acids).
  • Pili: hair-like tubes for the transfer of DNA.
  • Flagella: responsible for movement.
