    Study Notes

    Plasma Membrane

    • Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
    • Acts as a barrier, separating the cell's internal environment from its external surroundings.

    Chromosomes

    • Located within the nucleus of a cell.

    Cell Shape

    • The cytoskeleton is primarily involved in maintaining cell shape.

    Cytoplasm

    • The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains various organelles and molecules.
    • Provides a medium for cellular processes and reactions to occur.

    Chromosomes and Genetic Material

    • Chromosomes contain genetic material (DNA), which carries the instructions for the cell's functions and development.
    • The relationship between chromosomes and genetic material is essentially one of storage and transmission.
    • Chromosomes act like organized packages that hold the genetic information, ensuring its accurate replication and transfer during cell division.
