Study Notes
Cell Structures
- Cell Wall: Rigid outer layer providing structural support in plant cells.
- Cell Membrane: Semi-permeable barrier that surrounds and protects the cell, regulating entry and exit of substances.
- Vacuole: Storage organelle that holds food, water, and other materials essential for cellular function.
- Nucleus: Most prominent organelle visible under a microscope; it controls cell activities and houses genetic material.
- Nucleolus: Structure within the nucleus responsible for producing ribosomal RNA and storing materials for later use.
- DNA: Molecule containing hereditary information; crucial for genetic inheritance and cellular functions.
- Mitochondria: Organelles known as the powerhouse of the cell; they generate energy by breaking down food molecules.
- Chloroplast: Organelle found in plants and algae that captures sunlight energy to produce food through photosynthesis.
- Lysosome: Digestive organelle that breaks down waste materials, food particles, and worn-out cell components.
- Ribosome: Small organelles that synthesize proteins; these are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Network of membranes involved in transporting materials throughout the cell; can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes).
- Cytoplasm: Viscous fluid that fills the cell, providing a medium for chemical reactions and supporting organelles.
