Study Notes
Eukaryotic Cells
- Typical feature: presence of a true nucleus, bound by a double membrane
Cellular Components
- Endomembrane system: a network of membranous organelles responsible for protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and detoxification
Centrioles
- Found in animal cells, play a crucial role in the formation of cilia, flagella, and centrosomes
- Involved in the separation of chromosomes during cell division
Nucleus
- Control center of the cell, containing most of the cell's genetic material
- Responsible for regulating gene expression, cell growth, and cell division
Plant Cells vs. Animal Cells
- Distinguishing feature of plant cells: presence of a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole
