    Study Notes

    Cellular Organelles and Functions

    • The synthesis of ribosomes occurs in the nucleolus.

    Cell Membrane Transport

    • Hypotonic solution: fluid flows out of the cell.
    • Active transport: movement of large materials through the cell membrane, requiring metabolic energy.
    • Passive transport: type of transportation across a differentially permeable membrane that requires no metabolic energy.
    • Facilitated diffusion: type of diffusion that requires the assistance of membrane proteins.

    Cellular Components and Functions

    • Peroxisomes: involved in the breakdown of fatty acids and amino acids.
    • Chromatin: composed of DNA and proteins (histones) in the nucleus.
    • Cilia: responsible for movement and sensing the environment.
    • Nucleoplasm: a gel-like substance in the nucleus where DNA replication and transcription occur.

    Cellular Processes

    • Active transport: the process that involves the movement of molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, against a gradient or an obstacle with the use of external energy.
    • Exocytosis: the process where the cell discharges material out of the cell.
    • Receptor-mediated endocytosis: a type of endocytosis that is more specific and involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptor proteins.
