    Study Notes

    Cell Definition

    • Basic unit of structure and function of the body.

    Cell Components

    • Contains a nucleus and cell organelles like mitochondria and ribosomes.
    • Surrounded by a plasma membrane that allows communication between the intracellular and extracellular compartments.

    Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic

    • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
    • Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, instead having DNA located within the cell membrane.
