    Study Notes

    Organelles

    • Definition: Specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.
    • Types:
      • Nucleus: Controls cell growth, division, and heredity.
      • Mitochondria: Generates energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
      • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Synthesizes proteins and lipids.
      • Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis.
      • Lysosomes: Contains digestive enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste.
      • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids for transport.
      • Cytoskeleton: Provides structural support, shape, and movement.
    • Functions:
      • Metabolic processes: Energy production, protein synthesis, and lipid synthesis.
      • Cell signaling: Receives and responds to signals from outside the cell.
      • Waste management: Breaks down and recycles cellular waste.

    Cell Membrane

    • Definition: A thin, semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell.
    • Composition:
      • Phospholipid bilayer: Two layers of phospholipid molecules with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
      • Proteins: Embedded in the membrane, facilitating transport, signaling, and cell-cell interactions.
    • Functions:
      • Regulation of what enters and leaves the cell: Controls the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
      • Cell signaling: Receives and responds to signals from outside the cell.
      • Cell-cell interactions: Facilitates communication and adhesion between cells.
    • Permeability:
      • Selective permeability: Allows certain molecules to pass through while restricting others.
      • Passive transport: Movement of molecules down their concentration gradient (diffusion, osmosis).
      • Active transport: Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.
