Study Notes
Cellular Anatomy
-
Organelles: Individual components within a cell, analogous to organs in a body.
-
Nucleus: A membrane-bound organelle controlling cell reproduction and containing DNA, the hereditary material.
-
Nuclear Envelope: Membrane surrounding the nucleus, containing nuclear pores.
-
Nucleolus: Found within the nucleus, involved in ribosome production.
-
Ribosomes: Produce proteins and found in the cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic reticulum.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane, involved in transporting cell products (proteins and lipids). Rough ER processes proteins; Smooth ER processes carbohydrates/lipids.
-
Mitochondria: Provides energy (power source) for the cell.
-
Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells. Site of photosynthesis.
-
Golgi Apparatus: Packages and secretes cellular products.
-
Lysosomes: Enzyme-coated organelles responsible for cell digestion.
-
Chromatin: Strands of genetic material forming chromosomes. These strands condense prior to cell division.
-
Cytoplasm: Material between the nucleus and cell membrane.
-
Vacuole: Essential for storage, primarily in plants. One large central vacuole regulates what enters and exits.
-
Cell Membrane: Regulates what enters and exits the cell.
-
Cell Wall: Provides structure and support for plant cells (animals do not have cell walls).
Additional Cellular Structures - Page 2
- Centrioles: Structures involved in cell division found in animal and fungi cells. Plants and bacteria have similar, but not identical structures called centrosomes.
- Bacteria and Fungi: Both can have cell walls but their structures are different.
