Study Notes
- Cells are the basic building blocks of life, the smallest unit that can replicate independently.
- Animals and plants are multicellular organisms made up of various types of cells, while bacteria are unicellular organisms.
- Both animal and plant cells have a cell membrane that controls substance entry and exit, a nucleus with DNA, and cytoplasm filled with organelles.
- Animal and plant cells have mitochondria for energy production and ribosomes for protein synthesis.
- Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose for support, a permanent vacuole for storing nutrients, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
- Bacterial cells have a single circular chromosome/nucleoid containing all genes, no mitochondria or chloroplasts, and some may have flagella for movement and plasmids for extra genes.
- Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, while bacterial cells are prokaryotic.
