Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function
- All living things are made of cells
- Cells are the simplest form that can carry out all life processes
- Cells are made up of cells by division
- Cells use energy
- Cells store materials
- Cells communicate
- Cells remove waste
- Cells transport materials
- Cells reproduce
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration = Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O) → Oxygen (O2) + Glucose (C6H12O6)
Animal Cell
- Cell Membrane: Covers and protects the cell
- Golgi Apparatus: Sorts and sends materials
- Centrosome: Involved in cell division
- Vacuole: Stores materials
- Mitochondrion: Makes energy
- Nucleus: Controls the cell's activities and holds DNA
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Makes lipids.
- Lysosome: Breaks down waste.
- Cytoplasm: A gel-like substance holding/supporting the organelles.
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Makes proteins
- Ribosomes: Make proteins
- Nucleolus: Makes ribosomes
- Nuclear Membrane: Protects the nucleus
- Nucleus: Contains genetic information (DNA)
