Study Notes
Cell Organelle Functions
- Cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm, allowing only certain molecules to pass through.
- Cell wall is a tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid layer that provides structural support and protection to the cell.
- Nucleus holds DNA and converts it to RNA.
- Golgi apparatus exports proteins out of the cell.
- Endoplasmic reticulum is a highway for proteins and holds ribosomes.
- Vacuole stores nutrients, food, and mostly water, and is larger in plant cells to maintain turgid pressure and support photosynthesis.
- Ribosome translates the message from DNA into amino acids, using RNA as an intermediate.
- Mitochondrion produces a large amount of energy for the cell, generating 36 ATP from every glucose molecule, and has its own DNA and a double membrane.
- Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills the cell, composed of water, salts, and proteins.
- Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into plant food (sugar) through the action of chlorophyll, resulting in the production of oxygen and glucose.
- Centriole produces spindle fibers that attach to chromosomes during mitosis, ensuring they are split apart evenly.
