1. Cell structure and function

Key Concepts & Definitions

Cell membrane: The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining a controlled environment for cellular activities.

Nucleus: (Not explicitly defined in the source content, but generally known as the control center of the cell, containing genetic material.)

Mitochondria: The site of aerobic respiration, mitochondria release energy necessary for various cell functions.

Ribosomes: Responsible for protein synthesis, ribosomes produce proteins essential for cell structure and function.

Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Cell wall: (Not explicitly defined in the source content, but typically provides structural support and protection to the cell.)
