    Study Notes

    Cell Structure and Function

    • The organelle that surrounds the nucleus and supports and protects the cell is the cell membrane.

    Nuclear Structure

    • The nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus and has pores that allow molecules to pass through.
    • The DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell.

    Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis

    • The nucleolus, which is located in the nucleus, makes ribosomes.
    • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell.
    • Ribosomes can be found throughout the cell, either freely floating or attached to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
    • The function of ribosomes is to translate mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

    Endoplasmic Reticulum

    • The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is distinguished from the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum by the presence of ribosomes attached to its surface.
    • The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and transport.

    Cell Membrane

    • The cell membrane is responsible for protecting and supporting the cell, and is semi-permeable, allowing certain molecules to pass through.
    • The cell membrane and the nuclear membrane are distinct and separate structures.
    • The cell membrane shares the function of protecting and supporting the cell with the cell wall (in plant cells) or the periplasmic space (in bacterial cells).
