    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
