Study Notes

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is the outermost layer of a cell.
It separates the cell's interior from the external environment.
Regulates the movement of substances entering and leaving the cell.
Composed of a phospholipid bilayer, proteins, and carbohydrate chains.

Nucleus

The nucleus acts as the cell's control center.
Contains the cell's DNA (genetic material).

Cytoplasm

The cytoplasm (cytosol) surrounds the nucleus.
Contains organelles (specialized structures within the cell).
Facilitates movement of genetic material and cellular respiration products.

Cell Membrane Structure

Phospholipids: Form the fundamental structure of the membrane.
Proteins: Embedded within the phospholipid bilayer; some facilitate transport across the membrane (transport proteins).
Carbohydrate Chains: Located on the membrane surface, contributing to cell-cell recognition and communication.
Cells vary in size, shape, and function.
