Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Functions
- Sarcoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the rapid release and uptake of calcium ions, controlling muscle contraction.
- Most biochemical reactions occur in the cytoplasm.
- The sarcoplasmic reticulum resembles the endoplasmic reticulum in structure.
- Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes.
- Lysosomes function to break down and recycle cellular waste and foreign substances.
- The cytosol is the fluid contained and bounded by the plasma membrane.
- The sarcoplasmic reticulum's function is to regulate muscle contraction by releasing and uptake of calcium ions.
- The structure that resembles the endoplasmic reticulum is the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes, which are found throughout the cytoplasm.
- The gel-like consistency of the cytoplasm is called cytosol.
