Study Notes
Cell Organelles Summary
- Vacuole: Stores materials and provides temporary storage for food, enzymes, and waste products.
- Golgi Body: Composed of closely stacked, flattened sacs, primarily found in plants, responsible for packaging proteins for transport.
- Ribosomes: Sites for protein synthesis, often found on the endoplasmic reticulum as small bumps.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum: Transports materials within the cell, contributing to cellular communication and metabolism.
- Nucleus: Manages and controls all cell functions in eukaryotic cells, containing genetic information.
- Chloroplast: Contains chlorophyll for trapping sunlight energy, giving plants their green color.
- Lysosomes: Digest excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles, and invading pathogens, acting as the cell's waste disposal system.
- Cytoskeleton: A firm structure that provides shape and support to the cell in plants, fungi, some bacteria, and protists.
- Mitochondria: Produces usable energy for the cell via cellular respiration.
- Golgi Apparatus: Similar function to the Golgi Body, packaging proteins for transport out of the cell.
- Organelle: Refers to all components inside the cell, including the nucleus.
- Nucleolus: Site of ribosome production within the nucleus.
- Cell Membrane: Surrounds the cell, offering protection and regulating the movement of substances in and out.
- Lipid Bilayer: Composed of phospholipids, provides structural support for the cell with two subparts.
- Chromosome: The term for the collection of DNA found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, essential for genetic information.
- Microtubules: Hollow tubes that support the cell and are part of the cytoskeleton.
- Flagellum: Hair-like structures utilized for movement and sensing, longer whip-like structures cater to propulsion.
- Ingestion: Process by which the cell takes in substances, associated with the plasma membrane.
- Digestion: Primarily handled by lysosomes.
- Respiration: Mitochondria are responsible for the process of cellular respiration, converting food into energy.
- Excretion: Vacuoles play a significant role by expelling waste products.
- Cytoplasm: The region within the cell, excluding the nucleus, where organelles are suspended.
