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.
