What does yeast consist of?

1. Cell wall:

- Composed of mannan, glucan, chitin, and proteins

- Provides structural support and protection

2. Cell membrane:

- Semi-permeable lipid bilayer

- Regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell

3. Cytoplasm:

- Contains various organelles, including mitochondria, vacuoles, and ribosomes

- Where most cellular processes occur

4. Nucleus:

- Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA)

- Directs the cell's activities

5. Mitochondria:

- Generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration

6. Ribosomes:

- Sites of protein synthesis

7. Vacuoles:

- Store various substances, such as food, water, and waste products

8. Endoplasmic reticulum:

- Involved in protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and transport of substances within the cell

9. Golgi apparatus:

- Modifies, packages, and transports proteins and lipids

10. Lysosomes:

- Contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular components
