Study Notes
Cellular Functions
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and modifying proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, and packaging them for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
DNA Replication
- DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a template strand, ensuring accurate replication of genetic material.
Cellular Energy Production
- The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from the energy released by the breakdown of nutrients.
