Study Notes
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and sorting proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
- It acts as a factory, further processing proteins and packaging them for transport both within and outside the cell.
- Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi.
Lysosomes
- The lysosome is known as the "garbage disposal" or "digestive system" of animal cells.
- It contains a diverse array of enzymes that break down biological polymers, including:
- Proteins
- Nucleic acids
- Carbohydrates
- Lipids
Apoptosis
- Plays a crucial role in removing damaged or unnecessary cells throughout the cell's lifecycle.
- This includes normal cell turnover.
- A natural and vital process for growth and maintaining a healthy state.
Catabolic Reactions
- Break down complex molecules into smaller components.
- For organic polymers, this process involves hydrolysis reactions to break down into monomers.
Anabolic Reactions
- Build larger molecules from smaller ones.
Anabolism vs. Catabolism
- Anabolism is a building process, requiring energy.
- Catabolism is a breaking down process that releases energy.
Cellular Respiration
- Cells use the energy stored in ATP by breaking the chemical bond between phosphate groups.
