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.
