Study Notes
Smallest Unit of Life
- The smallest unit capable of performing life functions is the cell.
- Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms, contributing to various life processes.
Organelle Surrounding the Nucleus
- The organelle that surrounds the nucleus is called the nuclear envelope.
- It consists of two lipid bilayer membranes with nuclear pores, allowing selective transport of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
Support and Protection in Cells
- The cell wall is most commonly found in plant cells and bacteria.
- It provides structural support and protection, helping maintain cell shape and prevent excess water absorption.
Genetic Material and Cell Activities
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains the genetic material of the cell.
- DNA directs cell activities by coding for proteins and is essential for reproduction and inheritance.
Cell Membrane Functionality
- The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
- It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer that is semi-permeable, allowing selective entry and exit of materials, crucial for maintaining homeostasis.
