Study Notes
Cell Biology: Structure & Function
- Cells are found in the stomach, intestine, and pancreas.
- Cells synthesize and secrete chemical substances.
- Cell junctions and cell-cell recognition facilitate communication.
- Local regulators are secreted by cells and travel short distances.
- Connective tissue arises from the mesoderm during embryonic development.
- Cells contain mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), and microtubules/microfilaments.
Cellular Empire
- Organisms can be classified into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
- rRNA sequences are used to differentiate between the three domains.
RNA Polymerase
- RNA polymerase builds an RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
- New nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the strand.
