Study Notes
Cell Organelles
-
Nucleus
- Holds genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell functionality through gene expression.
- Enclosed by a double-layered nuclear envelope to protect its contents.
-
Mitochondria
- Known as the cell's "powerhouse," crucial for ATP (energy) production.
- Possesses its own circular DNA and is surrounded by a double membrane.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Rough ER: Ribosome-studded surface specialized for synthesizing and processing proteins.
- Smooth ER: Lacks ribosomes; important for lipid synthesis and detoxifying harmful substances.
-
Golgi Apparatus
- Functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or distribution to organelles.
-
Lysosomes
- Organelle containing digestive enzymes that decompose waste and cellular debris.
-
Ribosomes
- Sites for protein synthesis, can exist freely in the cytoplasm or be linked to the ER.
-
Cytoskeleton
- A framework made up of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules that provide cell shape and mechanical support.
-
Chloroplasts (specific to plant cells)
- Site of photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, enabling plants to convert sunlight into energy.
-
Vacuoles
- Storage organelles that are larger in plant cells, serving functions such as nutrient storage and waste management.
Plasma Membrane
- Composed of a bilayer of phospholipids with integrated proteins.
- Functions include:
- Separating the cell's interior from the external environment, acting as a protective barrier.
- Regulating the transport of substances, displaying selective permeability.
- Hosting receptors that detect and respond to signaling molecules.
Cell Signaling
-
Mechanism of communication between cells, using various signaling components.
-
Key components include:
- Signal molecules such as hormones and neurotransmitters.
- Receptors located on target cells that interact with these signal molecules.
- Second messengers like cAMP that amplify and carry signals within the cell.
-
Types of signaling:
- Autocrine: Cells send signals to themselves.
- Paracrine: Cells communicate with nearby cells.
- Endocrine: Signals travel through the bloodstream to distant targets.
Cell Division
-
Two principal types: Mitosis and Meiosis.
-
Mitosis
- Type of somatic cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Consists of phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, followed by Cytokinesis.
-
Meiosis
- Special division for producing gametes (sperm and eggs), resulting in four non-identical daughter cells with half the original chromosome count (haploid).
- Involves two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, crucial for sexual reproduction.
-
Importance:
- Mitosis supports growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction.
- Meiosis enhances genetic diversity crucial for evolution and adaption through recombination and independent assortment.
