1. Cell Structure and Function

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cell membrane (plasma membrane): The semi-permeable barrier composed mainly of phospholipids and proteins that surrounds the cell, regulating the entry and exit of substances. Alberts et al. (2002) describe it as a dynamic structure essential for maintaining cellular integrity and communication.

  • Nucleus: The membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA). It controls cellular activities through gene expression. Watson and Crick (1953) identified DNA as the genetic material housed within the nucleus.

  • Mitochondria: Double-membraned organelles responsible for energy production via ATP synthesis. Margulis (1970) proposed the endosymbiotic theory, suggesting mitochondria originated from free-living bacteria.

  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): A network of membranous tubules involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Palade (1955) first described the rough ER's role in protein synthesis, highlighting its ribosome attachments.
