Study Notes
Cell Structure
- Eukaryotic cells consist of two main components: cytoplasm and nucleus.
Cytoplasm
- Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance located between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
- It is composed of three main components: cytosol, inclusions, and organelles.
Cytosol
- Cytosol is a gel-like structure within the cytoplasm.
- It is composed of soluble proteins and enzymes.
Inclusions
- Inclusions are intracellular non-living substances.
- They are temporary, not essential, and metabolically inert.
- Examples of inclusions include water-containing vacuoles, lipids, and pigments of hair cells.
Organelles
- Organelles are living intracellular structures with specific vital functions.
- They are permanent, essential in all nucleated cells, and metabolically active.
- Organelles have vital functions and are found in all nucleated cells.
