Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function
- The plasma membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- The main function of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is to synthesize proteins.
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for accepting proteins from the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Cellular Organelles
- The synthesis of fatty acids and steroids primarily occurs in the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
- The Mitochondria generates energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
- The Lysosome is responsible for autolysis in a cell.
Protein Synthesis
- Protein synthesis primarily occurs in the Ribosomes.
Mitosis
- During Metaphase, chromosomes align at the center of the cell.
- Anaphase is typically the longest phase in duration.
Fluid Compartments
- The interstitial fluid compartment includes the fluid between cells within a tissue.
Test your knowledge about cells and tissue organization, including the major parts of a cell such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Learn about the functions and structures of the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, as well as cell physiology related to endoplasmic reticulum synthesis.
