Study Notes
Components of the Cell Visible Under a Light Microscope
- Nucleus
- Cell wall (in plant cells)
- Cytoplasm
- Vacuoles (in plant cells)
- Chloroplasts (in plant cells)
The Plasma Membrane
- The cell membrane is also called the plasma membrane.
- It separates the cytoplasm from the extracellular environment.
- The fluid mosaic model is the most widely accepted concept for the structure of the cell membrane.
- The cell membrane is responsible for regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing a barrier against the external environment, and helping to maintain cell shape and internal organization.
