Study Notes
- Cell structures have specific functions and nutrient interactions
Nucleus
- Contains DNA
- Controls cell activities
- Interacts with proteins (for enzymes and histones)
- Interacts with vitamins (B12 a1 folate for DNA synthesis)/2inc
Mitochondria
- Produces ATP through cellular respiration
- Interacts with carbohydrates, as the main fuel source
- Interacts with Lipids (fatty acids) during fasting or low-carb states
- Interacts with proteins (amino acids) when carbs/lipids are low
- Interacts with Vitamins/minerals: B1, B2, B3, and Iron for ATP production
Ribosomes
- Facilitate protein synthesis
- Translate mRNA into proteins
- Interacts with proteins, carbohydrates and r sviic e/mtein-ium for ribosomal function
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Modifies, packages, and ships proteins and lipids
Lysosomes
- Digests cellular waste, damaged organelles, and macromolecules
- Interacts with proteins and lipids
- Interacts with Vitamin E for membrane stability, recycling nutrients
Vacuoles
- Stores nutrients, waste, and water
- Requires enzymes made of proteins
Cytoplasm
- Gel-like fluid where many reactions occur
- Site for glycolysis (glucose breakdown)
- Contains dissolved nutrients, enzymes, and ions
Chloroplasts (plant cells only)
- Site of photosynthesis
- Makes glucose from sunlight
- Requires carbon dioxide, water, and light
- Interacts with minerals like magnesium in chlorophyll
Cell Membrane
- Regulates what enters and exits the cell
- Composed of lipids and proteins
- Uses minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium to maintain ion balance, which is important in nerve and muscle cells
- Allows the transport of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids
