Study Notes
Cells are the basic units of life, and they play a critical roles in the structure and function of organisms. They can be divided into two main classes: prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, and eukaryotic cells, which contain a nucleus. In this article, we will focus on the structure and functions of eukaryotic cells, including cell membrane, cell organelles, cell division, and cellular respiration.
-
Cell Membrane: The cell membrane is a structure that forms a barrier between the cytoplasm inside the cell and the outer cellular matrix. It protects and supports the cell, and controls everything that enters and leaves it
-
Cell Organelles: Organelles are small structures within the cytoplasm that carry out functions necessary to maintain homeostasis in the cell. They include:
- Nucleus: The largest, double membrane-bound organelle that contains all the cell's genetic information and controls the activity of the cell
- Mitochondria: A double membrane-bound, sausage-shaped organelle that is the site of aerobic respiration and produces energy in the form of ATP
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) [Rough and RER (Ribosome-bound) and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound) [Smooth and RER (Ribosome-bound
