    Study Notes

    I apologize, but it seems that the topic "MDcat topic test" is not a specific or valid topic. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized exam for medical school admissions, but "MDcat topic test" is not a recognized topic.

    If you meant to ask about the MCAT exam or a specific topic related to the MCAT, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you with study notes.

    MCAT Exam Clarification

    • The topic "MDcat topic test" is not a recognized or valid topic related to the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
    • The MCAT is a standardized exam for medical school admissions.
    • There is a distinction between "MDcat topic test" and the actual MCAT exam, with the latter being a recognized and widely accepted assessment for medical school admissions.

    Cell Structure

    • Cell membrane (plasma membrane) is a semipermeable membrane that separates the cell from its environment.
    • Cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
    • Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane where metabolic reactions and cellular activities take place.
    • Cytoplasm is composed of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles.

    Organelles

    • Mitochondria generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in protein synthesis, folding, and transport.
    • Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
    • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and break down waste and foreign substances.
    • Golgi Apparatus is involved in protein modification, sorting, and transport.

    Nucleus

    • Nucleus is the control center of the cell.
    • Nucleus contains most of the cell's genetic material (DNA).
    • Nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope.

    Cell Types

    • Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
    • Prokaryotic cells are typically small and simple in structure.
    • Examples of prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea.
    • Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
    • Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex in structure.
    • Examples of eukaryotic cells include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

    Cellular Processes

    • Cellular respiration is the process of generating energy from glucose.
    • Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
    • Cellular respiration involves three stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
    • Photosynthesis is the process of generating energy from light.
    • Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts (in plant cells).
    • Photosynthesis involves two stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.
    • Cell division is the process of cell growth and reproduction.
    • Cell division involves two stages: mitosis and cytokinesis.
    • Cell division results in the formation of two daughter cells.
