Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers cell structure and function, focusing on subcellular components like ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, mitochondria, lysosomes, vacuoles, and chloroplasts. It also explains cell size and its relation to the surface area-to-volume ratio. Additionally, it discusses the plasma membrane structure and function, including membrane transport mechanisms (passive and active). Finally, it covers tonicity, osmoregulation, and the endosymbiotic theory.
