Study Notes
Cell Structure
- A cell is the smallest unit of life that can live independently.
- Cells make up all living organisms and their tissues.
- Eukaryotic cells: Organisms whose cells contain a nucleus.
- Prokaryotic cells: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles.
Eukaryotic Cells
- Larger than prokaryotic cells
- Contain membrane-bound organelles
- Examples include animal and plant cells.
- Contain a nucleus.
Prokaryotic Cells
- Smaller than eukaryotic cells
- Do not contain membrane-bound organelles
- Examples include bacteria cells.
- Do not contain a nucleus.
