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
Explore the basics of cell biology, including the structure and function of cells, organelles, and their relationships. Learn about the cytosol, components, and cooperation between different parts to perform specific functions.
