Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function
- Cell Structure: Composed of various organelles, including the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, centriole, mitochondria, and vesicles.
- Nucleus: Contains genetic material (DNA) and directs cellular processes.
- Ribosomes: Responsible for protein synthesis, composed of a large (60S) and small (40S) subunit containing rRNA.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Network of interconnected membranes involved in synthesis, packaging, and processing of molecules.
-
Rough ER (RER): Rich in ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis for secretion, integral membrane proteins, and lysosomal enzymes.
- Core Glycosylation: Modification of proteins by adding sugar molecules to the protein structure.
- Smooth ER (SER): Involved in lipid metabolism, steroid hormone synthesis, gluconeogenesis, detoxification, and calcium storage.
-
Rough ER (RER): Rich in ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis for secretion, integral membrane proteins, and lysosomal enzymes.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, packages, and concentrates secretory products.
-
Vesicles: Small membrane-bound sacs that transport materials within and outside the cell.
- Granules: Contain secretory products.
- Lysosomes: Degrade material with hydrolytic enzymes, maintain a pH of 5.
- Peroxysomes: Involved in hydrogen peroxide metabolism and oxidation of fatty acids.
-
Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell, responsible for energy production (ATP) through cellular respiration.
- mtDNA: Contains its own DNA, inherited maternally.
- Structure: Contains two membranes, an outer permeable membrane and an inner selectively permeable membrane.
- Function: Synthesizes its own proteins, can move and change shape.
Eukaryotic Cell
- Characteristic of animal cells, plant cells, fungi, and protists.
- Possesses a nucleus, ribosomes, ER, Golgi, mitochondria, and other organelles.
- Complex and organized structure.
The Cell
- Cells come in various shapes and forms, adapted to their specific functions.
- Diverse structures optimized for specific roles in the body.
#celltember
- A popular hashtag often used on social media to share information about cell biology during September.
- Increases awareness about cell biology and promotes research.
