Study Notes

Cellular Organelles and Functions

The primary function of the cell membrane is to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
The mitochondria is responsible for generating energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, where they receive messenger RNA (mRNA) and translate it into a specific amino acid sequence.
The lysosome is responsible for breaking down and recycling cellular waste and foreign substances through hydrolytic enzymes.
The cytoskeleton provides structural support, shape, and mechanical resistance to the cell, as well as playing a crucial role in cell division, signaling, and protein transport.
