Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Structures
- The nucleus functions as the control center of cellular activities in eukaryotic cells.
- The nucleolus is a structure within the nucleus responsible for synthesizing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembling ribosomes.
Inheritance of Traits
- Chromosomes carry the hereditary unit in organisms and help in the inheritance of traits from one generation to another.
Cellular Environment
- The cytoplasm is the site where all cell organelles are embedded and regarded as the site for most of the chemical reactions within a cell.
Cell Membrane
- The main function of the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells is to regulate the movement of materials in and out of the cell, maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Energy Generation
- Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration and generating energy for eukaryotic cells.
Cellular Processing
- The main function of the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells is to process and modify proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, and packaging them for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
Genetic Material
- The nucleus is the structure responsible for storing the genetic material in the form of chromosomes in eukaryotic cells.
Cellular Composition
- The cytoplasm is composed of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles suspended in a gel-like substance called cytosol.
