Study Notes
Cell Structure
- Cells contain cytoplasm, plasmids and ribosomes.
- Organelles are not present in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- The fine structure of cells, visible only with a high-magnification microscope, is called ultrastructure.
Active Transport
- Nerve cells utilize active transport to maintain high concentrations of potassium ions inside and high concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell.
Plant Cell Walls
- Plant cell walls are composed of cellulose.
- Fungal and bacterial cell walls have varied structures and chemical compositions.
Diffusion
- Oxygen, glucose, and amino acids enter most cells through diffusion.
- Carbon dioxide and urea leave most cells through diffusion.
