    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
