Study Notes
Types of Cells
- Two main categories of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
- Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms, primarily represented by bacteria.
- Eukaryotic cells are more complex and can be multicellular, including all plant and animal cells.
Cell Structure
- A typical cell is comprised of two major components: the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
- The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell, housing genetic material (DNA).
- Cytoplasm is the gel-like substance outside the nucleus, containing organelles and other cellular components.
Nuclear Membrane
- The nucleus is enclosed by a membrane known as the nuclear membrane.
- The nuclear membrane separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm, maintaining distinct environments for genetic material and cellular processes.
