Study Notes

Cellular Structure

A cell consists of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus.
Cytoplasm contains protein fibers, membranous organelles, and inclusions.
The nucleus contains a nucleolus.

Cellular Organelles

Cytoskeleton provides structural support and shape to the cell.
Golgi apparatus and Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth and rough) are involved in protein synthesis and transport.
Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy for the cell.
Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.

Levels of Organization

The integration of structure and function extends across all levels of organization, from molecules to the entire body.
The theme of compartmentation is the separation of cells into functional compartments, such as organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Molecular Interactions

Molecular interactions are essential for biological function.
A molecule's function depends on its structure and shape, and small changes can have significant effects.

Energy and Homeostasis

Living organisms require energy for growth, reproduction, movement, and homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment, attributed to Claude Bernard.
Homeostasis is essential for normal physiological functions, and disruptions can lead to disease.

Information Flow

Information flow in living systems ranges from genetic information stored in DNA to the flow of information within a single organism.
Homeostasis is an essential aspect of information flow in the body, maintaining a stable internal environment.
