Cells (chap 1)

• The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material.
• Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.
• Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.
• The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills most of the cell, containing organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body & vesicles.
• The endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in protein synthesis, folding and transport.
• The cell membrane is the outermost layer that surrounds all cells.
• Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the genetic material and regulating cell activities.
• Mitochondria generate energy through cellular respiration.
• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials within cells.
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes where proteins and lipids are produced.
• Vacuoles store water, nutrients, or waste products inside plant cells.
• Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins and lipids made by ER.
• Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.
• Lysosome breaks down waste materials inside cells.
• Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials within cells.
• Vacuoles store water, nutrients or wastes inside plant cells.
• Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
• Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose fibers which provides support and protection.
• Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins and lipids for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in synthesis of lipids and steroids
• Plant cells contain chloroplasts which produce food by photosynthesis.
• Chloroplasts are found only in plants and algae, responsible for photosynthesis.
• Cytoskeleton provides structure to the cytoplasm and helps with movement and division.
• Plant cells have a large central vacuole filled with fluid called cell sap.
• Mitochondria produce energy through cellular respiration.
• Golgi Apparatus chemically modifies and packages proteins for transportation out of the cell.
• Cell Membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell.
• Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell where energy production occurs through respiration.
• Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell where ATP (energy) is produced through aerobic respiration.
• Cell wall provides support and protection to the cell.
• Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and wastes.
• Cell wall is found only in plant cells and gives them structure and protection.
• Chloroplast is an organelle found only in plants that contains chlorophyll and is involved in photosynthesis.
• Mitochondria generate energy through aerobic respiration.
• The nucleus contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell.
• Mitochondria generate energy through respiration.
• Nucleus contains genetic material (DNA).
• Nucleus contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell.
• Cells are the basic unit of life
