    Study Notes

    Cellular differences

    • Living cells differ from non-living cells in their structural and functional properties
    • Organelle function: mitochondria generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration
    • Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus, whereas eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus

    Cellular structure

    • Dendritic cells have a long, branched structure requiring multiple connections with neighboring cells
    • The nucleus is responsible for storing genetic information and regulating gene expression
    • Vesicle secretion from cells is a process called exocytosis

    Mitochondrial structure

    • The inner mitochondrial membrane appears cristae-like when examined with transmission electron microscopy
    • The inner membrane is highly folded to increase surface area for energy production

    Prokaryotes

    • Archaea and bacteria are both prokaryotes, but they differ in their cell wall composition, metabolism, and environmental adaptations

    Universal cellular properties

    • All living cells possess the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis
