Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function
- Basic Unit of Life: The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
- Cell Control Center: The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
- Plant Cell Differences: Plant cells possess a cell wall, absent in animal cells.
- Energy Production Organelle: Mitochondria produce energy for cells.
Additional Cell Information
- Cell Membranes: Cell membranes are not rigid and allow movement.
- Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are found in plant, not animal, cells.
- Cell Division: Cells reproduce by division.
- Unicellular Organisms: Bacteria are unicellular organisms.
- Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance inside the cell.
- Nutrient Intake: Cells take in nutrients via a process.
- Photosynthesis: Plants utilize photosynthesis to capture sunlight's energy.
- Intracellular Transport: The cell has a system to transport materials.
- Cell Shape: Cell walls provide structural support, defining cell shapes.
Cell Types and Processes
- Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells: Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
- Ribosomes: Ribosomes synthesize proteins within cells.
- Cell Membrane Function: The cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis (internal balance).
- Vacuole Function (Plant Cells): Plant vacuoles are involved in storing and maintaining turgor pressure.
Cell Processes and Implications
- Cell Importance: Cells are essential for the function of organisms.
- Tissue and Organ Function: Cells contribute to the functioning of tissues and organs.
