    Study Notes

    • In prokaryotic cells, chlorophyll is associated with membranous vesicles, not with plastids like in eukaryotic cells.
    • The nucleoid is an irregularly shaped region within a prokaryote cell that contains most of the genetic material.
    • Cytoplasm is the fluid content inside the plasma membrane, excluding the nucleus, and consists of cytosol and various cell organelles.
    • Cell organelles are sub-cellular structures with characteristic form, structure, and function, and are almost all surrounded by a membrane.
    • Viruses lack a membrane and do not show characteristics of life until they enter a living organism and use its cell machinery to multiply.
    • Ribosomes are the smallest and membrane-less cell organelles, composed of RNA and proteins, and are responsible for protein synthesis.
    • Centrioles are present in all animal cells but only in lower plant forms.
    • Golgi apparatus, also known as dictyosomes, is present in both plant and animal cells.
    • Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells and are responsible for generating energy for the cell.
    • Vacuoles are small in animal cells but can occupy up to 90% of cell volume in plant cells.
    • Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down cellular components and can cause cell destruction if they burst.
    • Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell, and is essential for growth and repair of tissues in organisms.
