Study Notes
- Qelizat are organisms with three essential parts: Pa, membrane, and cytoplasm.
- Cytoplasm is a fluid-like substance, similar to gelatin, and contains DNA, the genetic material of the cell.
- There are two main types of cells: Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic.
- Eukaryotic cells have nuclei and specialized organs.
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and specialized organs, but have genetic material.
- Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, such as bacteria.
- Organelles are specialized parts of the cell that perform specific functions.
- The nucleus controls the cell, holds DNA, and directs processes.
- Chromatin, the condensed form of DNA, is found within the nucleus.
- Nucleolus, a structural component within the nucleus, is involved in ribozome production.
- Ribozomes synthesize proteins outside the nucleus.
- Citoplazma contains ribozomes, ER, and other organelles.
- ER comes in two forms: granular and agranular, with different functions.
- Reticulum endoplasmic transports materials from ribozomes to the Golg apparatus.
- The Golg apparatus processes and modifies proteins.
- Vacuoles store waste materials or nutrients in the cell.
- Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down cellular waste or foreign substances.
- Mitochondria produce ATP energy for the cell.
- Cells with more energy requirements have more mitochondria.
- Cells have a cytoskeleton that maintains their shape.
- Chloroplasts, present in some plant cells, perform photosynthesis.
- Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll.
- Cell walls or membranes surround some cells.
- Flagella, small whip-like structures, help some cells move or stay in place.
- Sperm cells have a flagellum.
- Eukaryotic cells have a complex structure with organelles and a nucleus.
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and specialized organelles.
- All cells have a membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA.
- Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have mitochondria.
