Study Notes
The Cell Discovery
- The cell is the smallest unit of life
- Cells can arise from pre-existing cells only
Prokaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus
- They have a nucleoid region
- Examples of prokaryotes are bacteria and Archaea domains
Identifying Prokaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotes are unicellular and consist of only one cell
- Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus instead have a nucleoid region
The Cell Theory
- Cells make up all living things, including multicellular and unicellular organisms
- There are two basic types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic
- Prokaryotic cell structure and function is different from eukaryotic cells
- All living things are made of at least one cell
- New cells can arise only from preexisting cells
What Is A Cell
- The cell is the structural unit of living things
- The cell is bounded by a plasma membrane
- The cell body contains genetic material called DNA
