2.2 Cell Structure and Microtubules Ribosome Centrioles Cytoplasm Cell Membrane: Microvilli Function: Nuclear membrane Golgi Complex Nucleus Plasma Memrane Vacuole Lysosomes Nucleoli -Mitochondria Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • The cell is the basic unit of life and all living things are composed of one or more cells. The structure and function of a cell are intricately related, as the shape and organization of a cell's components enable it to perform its functions. ● The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin, semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the outside. It is made up of a lipid bilayer, a double layer of phospholipids with hydrophilic (water-loving) heads facing outwards and hydrophobic (water-fearing) tails facing inwards. This structure provides the cell membrane with its fluidity and selective permeability, allowing only certain substances to enter and exit the cell. Cytoskeleton: ● The cytoskeleton is an internal network of protein fibers that gives the cell its shape and provides structural support. It also plays a role in cell division, movement, and the maintenance of cell shape. The three types of fibers in the cytoskeleton are microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Nucleus: ● The nucleus is a large organelle found in eukaryotic cells. It is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope and contains the cell's genetic material, DNA, in the form of chromosomes. The nucleus is responsible for controlling the cell's activities, including growth...

and division, by directing the synthesis of proteins and RNA. Mitochondria: ● Mitochondria are small, sausage-shaped organelles often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. They are responsible for producing the majority of the cell's energy through cellular respiration. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded, forming cristae, which increases the surface area for energy production. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): ● The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of flattened, membrane-bound sacs that extend throughout the cytoplasm. There are two types of ER: the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which is studded with ribosomes, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes. The RER is involved in protein synthesis and transport, while the SER plays a role in lipid synthesis and detoxification. • Golgi Apparatus: ● The Golgi apparatus is a series of stacked, flattened membranes that modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their final destination. The Golgi apparatus is also involved in the modification of proteins, including the addition of sugars to form glycoproteins. • Lysosomes: ● Lysosomes are small, spherical organelles filled with hydrolytic enzymes that break down cellular waste and unwanted material. They are formed from the Golgi apparatus and contain enzymes that can digest proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Lysosomes also play a role in recycling cellular components and in cellular aging.

This guide is specifically designed for AP Biology students, focusing on the topic of cell structure and function, particularly in animal cells. It provides a clear, concise overview of the key components and roles of animal cells, essential for understanding cell biology in depth. The notes include: - Step-by-step instructions on how to accurately label an animal cell diagram, ensuring a thorough understanding of each part's location and function. - Detailed descriptions of each component of the animal cell, enhancing knowledge of cell anatomy. - Guidance on labeling the various parts of a cell, reinforcing the identification and understanding of cell structures. - A visually detailed model of an animal cell with labels, aiding in the visualization and memorization of cell components. - Information about the outer boundary of the cell, discussing its structure and significance. - High-quality pictures and images of animal cells to provide clear visual references. - A labeled animal cell model, offering a practical example of cell structure. - An annotated animal cell picture, highlighting and explaining each part of the cell. - Insight into the cross-section of an animal cell, giving a deeper understanding of its three-dimensional structure. This guide is crafted to provide AP Biology students with a comprehensive and easy-to-understand resource on animal cell structure and function, making it an invaluable tool for study and revision.
