Study Notes
Cellular Biology
Cell Structure
- Cell Membrane: Semi-permeable membrane that regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- Cytoplasm: Jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane where metabolic processes occur
- Nucleus: Control center of the cell where DNA is stored
- Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for generating energy for the cell
- Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis
- Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids for transport
- Cytoskeleton: Provides structural support and shape to the cell
Cellular Processes
- Metabolism: Conversion of energy and nutrients into usable forms
- Photosynthesis: Process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy
- Cell Division: Process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells
- Mitosis: Division of somatic cells (body cells)
- Meiosis: Division of gametes (sex cells)
Anatomy
Tissue Types
- Epithelial Tissue: Forms lining of organs and glands
- Connective Tissue: Provides support and structure to the body
- Muscle Tissue: Enables movement and contraction
- Nervous Tissue: Transmits and processes information
Organ Systems
- Nervous System: Controls body functions and interprets sensory information
- Circulatory System: Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells
- Respiratory System: Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Digestive System: Breaks down and absorbs nutrients
- Endocrine System: Produces hormones that regulate various bodily functions
