    Study Notes

    Cell Membrane Function

    • The cell membrane acts as a barrier, controlling what enters and exits the cell while maintaining internal stability.

    Cellular Energy Production

    • Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell's primary energy source.

    Ribosome Function

    • Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis. They translate genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid chains, which fold into proteins.

    Protein Packaging & Modification

    • The Golgi apparatus is the cell's packaging and shipping center. It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins, preparing them for secretion or delivery to other cellular compartments.

    Chloroplast Function

    • Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis. This process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, providing energy for the plant.
