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.
