    Study Notes

    Mitochondria

    • The primary function of mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
    • They are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.

    Golgi Apparatus

    • The Golgi apparatus is the organelle primarily involved in packaging and transporting proteins throughout the cell.
    • It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins synthesized by ribosomes.

    Cell Wall

    • The cell wall is a rigid structure responsible for maintaining the shape and integrity of a plant cell.
    • It provides structural support and protection.

    DNA and RNA base pairing

    • The following pairs of DNA and RNA bases are complementary:
      • Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) in DNA and Uracil (U) in RNA
      • Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) in both DNA and RNA.

    Ribosomes

    • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
    • They read the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) and use it to assemble amino acids into proteins.
