Study Notes
Organelles and Their Functions
- Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes, where mRNA is translated into amino acid chains.
- Centrioles are responsible for the formation of cilia, flagella, and spindle fibers, and play a crucial role in cell division.
- Lysosomes are the cell's recycling centers, where they break down and digest foreign substances, damaged cell components, and cellular waste.
- The mitochondria is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell', as it generates energy for the cell through the process of cellular respiration.
- Mitochondria break down food to produce energy through the process of cellular respiration, which involves the Citric acid cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation.
- Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, where mRNA is translated into amino acid chains, and proteins are synthesized.
