Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Their Functions
- Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy for the cell through the process of cellular respiration, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from the energy released from the breakdown of nutrients.
Protein Synthesis
- Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, where messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
Cellular Detoxification
- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for detoxifying harmful substances in the cell, such as toxins and waste products, through a process called reticulophagy.
