Study Notes
Cellular Organelles
- Specialized structures within cells that carry out specific functions.
- Essential for maintaining cellular processes including metabolism, energy production, and protein synthesis.
Functions of Organelles
- Metabolism: Involves chemical reactions that convert food to energy and building blocks for cell components.
- Energy Production: Organelles like mitochondria generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
- Protein Synthesis: Ribosomes are responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins based on genetic instructions.
Structure-Function Relationship
- Each organelle has a unique structure optimized for its specific role.
- For example, mitochondria have a double membrane structure that enhances their ability to produce energy.
