Study Notes
Ribosomes: Protein Synthesis
- Ribosomes are cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
- They translate genetic code from messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins.
Golgi Apparatus: Protein Packaging and Modification
- The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle.
- It functions in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Detoxification
- The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a network of interconnected membranes within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
- One of its key functions is detoxification of harmful substances.
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells: Membrane-Bound Nucleus
- Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus that houses their genetic material.
Mitochondria: Energy Production
- The mitochondria is a double-membrane-bound organelle.
- Its primary function is to generate energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
