Study Notes
Cell Classification
- Cells are categorized based on their shape, which influences their specific functions.
- Types of animal cells include muscle cells, nerve cells, and sperm cells.
- Plant cells have distinct features, such as a cell wall and chloroplasts, that differentiate them from animal cells.
Major Categories of Cells
- Two primary categories exist for cell classification: prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
- Prokaryotes are characterized by their simplicity and lack of complexity in structure.
Prokaryotes
- Lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, making them primitive in nature.
- Generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, often unicellular organisms like bacteria.
Eukaryotes
- Possess a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, allowing for more complex cellular functions.
- Include a wide range of organisms, from unicellular fungi to multicellular animals and plants.
