Study Notes
Mitochondria & Energy Production
- Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, the process of converting glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell's main energy source.
Protein Modification and Packaging
- The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins synthesized by ribosomes.
The Cell Membrane
- Phospholipids are the primary component of the cell membrane, forming a bilayer structure.
Passive Transport
- Diffusion is a passive transport process where molecules move down their concentration gradient, from a high concentration area to a low concentration area, without requiring cellular energy.
Ribosomes & Protein Synthesis
- Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences, creating proteins essential for various cellular functions.
