Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Functions
- Mitochondria are responsible for converting energy in eukaryotic cells.
- The nucleus is responsible for storing genetic material in eukaryotic cells.
Endomembrane System
- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vacuoles are part of the endomembrane system in eukaryotic cells.
Cell Walls and Plant Cells
- The cell wall provides structural support, protection, and maintains cell shape in plant cells.
Protein Synthesis and Processing
- Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells.
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is responsible for packaging and sorting proteins in eukaryotic cells.
Organelle Functions
- Peroxisomes carry out oxidation or other conversions and produce hydrogen peroxide as a by-product.
- Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes used to digest macromolecules and can break down the cell when it dies.
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and packaging materials for secretion.
Photosynthesis and Plant Cells
- Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae and are sites of photosynthesis.
Nuclear Envelope and Plasma Membrane
- The nuclear envelope regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
- The plasma membrane regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
Flagella and Cilia
- Flagella have a whip-like movement pattern, while cilia have a wave-like movement pattern.
