Study Notes
- Cell structures are fundamental components essential for the function of a cell
Cell Membrane
- It is the outer boundary of the cell, separating the internal environment from the external environment
Nucleus
- The command center of the cell, containing most of the cell's genetic material
Nuclear Membrane
- The double membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus, regulating the movement of substances in and out
Nuclear Pore
- A protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
Chromatin
- The complex of DNA and proteins that form chromosomes within the nucleus
Nucleolus
- A structure that exists in the nucleus and is the site of ribosome synthesis and assembly
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- An extensive network of membranes responsible for protein and lipid synthesis
Mitochondria
- The powerhouses of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration
Cytoplasm
- The gel-like substance within the cell, excluding the nucleus, where organelles are suspended
Ribosome
- A structure that is the site of protein synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
- An organelle that processes and packages proteins and lipids
Centriole
- A structure that aids cell division
Vacuole
- A storage site for the cells for the storage of water, ions, and nutrients
Lysosome
- It is an organelle responsible for breaking down waste and cellular debris
Cytoskeleton
- A network of protein filament that provide structure, support, and shape to the cell
Microfilament
- Type of cytoskeletal filament that is involved in cell movement and contraction
Microtubule
- Type of cytoskeletal filament that is involved in cell division, support, and transport
