Introduction to Cell Biology
- The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
- Cells have certain basic features with diversity in structure and function.
- Every living organism is composed of one or more cells.
The Cell Theory
- All organisms are made up of cells.
- New cells are produced from pre-existing cells.
- The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living things.
- Cells contain hereditary information passed on during cell division.
- All cells are basically the same in chemical composition and metabolic activities.
Types of Cells
- Cells can be classified based on the presence or absence of a nucleus.
- A nucleus is a membrane-bound structure containing hereditary material and controls cell activities.
- Eukaryotic cells are larger with a nucleus bound by nuclear membranes (nuclear envelope).
- Prokaryotic cells are smaller, lack a nucleus or nuclear envelope; bacteria are prokaryotic.
