Study Notes
Cell Structure
- The nuclear envelope is a double-layered structure that separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm.
- The nuclear envelope contains pores that allow for the passage of substances between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Nucleolus
- The nucleolus is a membrane-less organelle within the nucleus.
- It contains a large amount of RNA and proteins.
- The nucleolus is responsible for the synthesis of RNA.
Cell Organelles
- Cell organelles are highly organized physical structures.
- Lipid and protein build-up in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are transported in vesicles.
- The ER contains enzymes for the complete synthesis of proteins.
- Vesicles move through the cytoplasm and fuse with the Golgi apparatus.
Microtubules
- Microtubules are straight, hollow cylinders composed of tubulin protein.
- They form part of the cytoskeleton.
- Microtubules have two main functions:
- They are involved in cell division, forming spindle fibers.
- They are components of cilia and flagella.
Cell Membrane and Transport
- The cell membrane is the boundary between the inside and outside of the cell.
- It separates the cell from its environment.
- There are three types of transport through the cell membrane:
- Passive transport, which does not require ATP.
- Symport, where substances are moved in the same direction, requiring ATP.
- Antiport, where substances are moved in opposite directions, also requiring ATP.
This quiz covers the structure and function of the nucleus and its organelles, including the nuclear envelope and nucleolus, in cell biology.
