    Study Notes

    Cell Structure and Function

    • Cells are the fundamental units of all living organisms.
    • Cells perform all life functions.
    • Cells can replicate independently.
    • Modern cell theory states:
      • All living things are made of one or more cells
      • All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
      • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
      • The function of an organism depends on the activity of all its cells.
      • Metabolism and energy flow occur in cells.

    Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells

    • Two main types of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic.
    • Prokaryotic cells:
      • Lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
      • Typically smaller in size (0.1-5 micrometers).
      • Include bacteria and archaea.
      • Usually unicellular.
    • Eukaryotic cells:
      • Have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
      • Larger in size (10-100 micrometers).
      • Include protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
      • Can be unicellular or multicellular.

    Common Cellular Features

    • All cells share fundamental features:
      • Plasma membrane (outer boundary)
      • Cytoplasm (semifluid substance inside the cell)
      • Chromosomes containing DNA (genetic material).
      • Ribosomes (protein synthesis).

    Prokaryotic Cells Experiment

    • Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) lack a membrane-bound nucleus and internal organelles.
    • Staining is used to visualize prokaryotic cells.
    • Structures like flagella, pili, capsules, and cell walls are key features.
    • Plasmids carry additional genetic material.

    Eukaryotic Cells Experiment

    • Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus.
    • Structures like vacuoles, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and endoplasmic reticulum play critical roles.
    • Different types of eukaryotic cells (e.g., paramecium) have distinct features.
