Study Notes
Cell Structure and Organelle Locations
- Cell Membrane: Outermost layer for animal cells; second outermost for plant cells, regulating entry and exit.
- Cytoplasm: Fluid-filled space between the nucleus and cell membrane, hosting various organelles.
- Cell Wall: Provides structural support, primarily found in plant cells outside the cell membrane.
Organelles in the Cytoplasm
- Mitochondria: Present in cytoplasm, responsible for energy (ATP) production.
- Lysosomes: Scattered throughout the cytoplasm, contain enzymes for digestion and waste processing.
- Ribosomes: Found throughout the cytoplasm, essential for protein synthesis.
- Vacuole: Distributed in the cytoplasm, involved in storage and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells.
- Vesicle: Located near the Golgi Apparatus in the cytoplasm, involved in transport of materials.
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Found in the cytoplasm, densely located near the nucleus and Golgi Apparatus; studded with ribosomes for protein synthesis.
Structure-Organelles Relations
- Golgi Apparatus/Body: Located in cytoplasm, adjacent to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the nucleus; processes and packages proteins.
- Chloroplasts: In the cytoplasm, positioned alongside mitochondria and near the cell wall in plant cells for photosynthesis.
- Microfilaments and Microtubules: Found within cytoplasm, they provide structure and support to the cell’s framework.
Nucleus and Its Components
- Nucleus: Generally at the center of animal cells; located near the periphery in plant cells, acts as the control center for cellular activities.
- Chromatin: Found within the nucleus, contains DNA that guides cellular function and replication.
- Central Vacuole: Present in the cytoplasm of plant cells, crucial for maintaining cell rigidity and storage.
- Nucleolus: Located inside the nucleus, responsible for ribosome production.
- Nuclear Envelope/Membrane: Surrounds the nucleus, serving as a barrier that regulates the exchange of materials.
Additional Structures
- Flagella: Extensions of the cell membrane that assist in cell mobility; surrounded by a membrane sheath.
- Centrioles: Located near the nucleus, involved in cell division and organization of microtubules.
