Study Notes
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells possess both.
- Prokaryotic cells are unicellular.
- Eukaryotic cells are specialized.
Organelles and Function
- Nucleus: Stores genetic information (DNA).
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER): Involved in protein production.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies proteins.
Cellular Transport
- Cellular transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane.
Passive vs. Active Transport
- Active transport requires energy to move substances.
- Passive transport does not require energy; substances move along their concentration gradient.
Phospholipid Bilayer
- The phospholipid bilayer forms the plasma membrane.
