Study Notes

Organelle Function in Eukaryotic Cells

Organelles have specific functions crucial for cellular survival and operation
Mitochondria generate energy
Ribosomes synthesize proteins
Lysosomes break down waste
These organelles work together to maintain cellular health

Cell Wall in Plant Cells

The cell wall provides structural support and protection
It's composed of cellulose
It differs from the cell membrane, which is a flexible membrane controlling substance movement

Significance of Cells in Biology

Cells are the basic unit of life
Understanding them helps study the structure and function of living organisms
It guides investigations of cellular processes, disease and potential treatments

Plant vs. Animal Cells

Plant cells possess a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large central vacuole, while animal cells lack these
Plant cells are generally more rigid than animal cells due to the cell wall
Animal cells are typically more flexible
