Course Outline

  1. Cell Fundamentals and Components
  2. Organelles and Cellular Functions
  3. Movement Across Cell Membranes
  4. Cell Cycle and Differentiation

1. Cell Fundamentals and Components

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cell membrane : a mostly lipid boundary containing proteins that regulates movement into and out of the cell and is selectively permeable
  • Cytoplasm : a gel-like component containing the cytoskeleton and suspended organelles
  • Nucleus : contains DNA and is separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear envelope that protects DNA and controls movement

Essential Points

  • The three main cell components are:

    • the cell membrane
    • the nucleus
    • the cytoplasm
  • Cells are the units of life, and they vary in size, shape, content, and function.

  • Cells are controlled by genes, and different cells use different genetic instructions.

MNC: membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm

2. Organelles and Cellular Functions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Mitochondria : capture and release energy for the cell through cellular respiration, and their amount varies among different cells

  • Ribosomes are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm, where they carry out protein synthesis.
