Study Notes
Cell Structure
- A cell consists of three main parts: plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material (nucleus).
Plasma Membrane
- The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Cellular Functions
- Most cellular functions, such as metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell division, are carried out in the cytoplasm.
Nucleus
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell, responsible for storing genetic information and controlling cell growth and reproduction.
Organelles
- Organelles are specialized structures within the cell that perform specific functions, such as protein synthesis, energy production, and waste management, to support the cell's overall function.
