Study Notes

Cell Biology

Cell biology is the study of the structure, composition, and function of cells.

Learning Objectives

Identify and describe the different cell components and organelles.
Understand the general functions of these components and organelles.
Explain the relationship between structure and function.
Recognize the cooperation between different components to perform specific functions.

Cell Components

Cytosol and Organelles

Cytosol is the basic substance of the cytoplasm, containing various organic and inorganic materials.
Cytoplasm includes all organelles and other non-living components.
Organelles are active metabolic structures that can be classified into membranous and non-membranous organelles.

Examples of Membranous Organelles:

Cell membrane
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
Endosomes
Mitochondria

Examples of Non-Membranous Organelles:

Ribosomes
Centrioles
Microtubules
