Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Their Functions
- Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, generating energy for the cell through the process of cellular respiration.
Protein Synthesis
- Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into a specific sequence of amino acids that make up a protein.
Cellular Transport and Packaging
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and modifying proteins and lipids, as well as packaging them into vesicles for transport within the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
