Study Notes
Cellular Components and Functions
- Ribosomes are responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins.
- Mitochondria use ATP as the primary source of energy to produce energy.
Nucleolus and RNA
- The nucleolus produces ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
Cellular Energy Production
- Mitochondria break down glucose to produce energy.
Plant Cell Components
- Large vacuoles in plant cells are responsible for storing water, nutrients, and waste products.
- Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.
- Cellulose provides structural support to plant cells.
- Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of many plant leaves.
