Study Notes

Cell Components and Functions

Plasma membrane: Regulates substance movement across the cell and separates the cell's contents from the external environment.
Cell wall: Maintains the shape of plant cells, protects them from bursting, and provides strength and support.
Cytoplasm: Acts as a medium for biochemical reactions of most living processes within the cell.
Nucleus: Carries genetic information in the form of DNA.
Vacuole: Stores nutrients, wastes, and metabolic by-products.
Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins.
Mitochondria: Synthesizes ATP (energy) and serves as the site of cellular respiration.
