Study Notes
Cell Structure and Components
- Cells are made up of three main components: cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
- The cell membrane is thin and selectively permeable, regulating entry and exit of substances.
Nucleus Functions and Structure
- The nucleus controls cell activities and must undergo mitosis for cell division.
- Inside the nucleus are the nucleolus and chromatin, where chromatin is primarily composed of DNA.
Nucleolus
- The nucleolus is responsible for synthesizing ribosomes, which aid in protein production located on the endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- The endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport system for various materials within the cell.
Cell Membrane Functions
- The cell membrane facilitates diffusion and osmosis, which are processes of passive transport that move substances across the membrane without energy input.
Cytoplasm Composition
- Cytoplasm contains organelles vital for cellular function, including lysosomes, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and the endoplasmic reticulum.
Lysosomes
- Lysosomes contain enzymes that help destroy foreign particles, playing a crucial role in the cell’s defense mechanism.
Mitochondria
- Mitochondria are known for their cristae structure and are responsible for producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus functions as a delivery system, processing and transporting proteins produced within the cell.
