Cell Structure and Functions
- What is the cell theory
- Every living organism is made up of one or
more cells, the smallest organism are
single cells.
- Cells are the functional units of
multicellular organisms, and all cells
arise from preexisting cells.
- What are the basis attributes of cells?
- Cells are small because they must exchange
materials with their surroundings by diffusion, a
slow process that require the interior of the cell to
be close to the plasma membrane.
- Cells use DNA as a genetic blueprint and RNA to
direct protein synthesis based on DNA.
- There are two fundamentally different types of cells:Prokaryotic cells are
small and lack membrane-enclosed organelles. Eukaryotic cells have a
variety of organelles, including a nucleus.
- What are the major features of eukaryotic cells?
- lack an organized nucleus and other
membrane-bound organelles.
- Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of
the cell called the nucleoid.
- The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer
of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and
prevents dehydration.
- What are the major features of prokaryotic cells?
- Eukaryotic cells have an internal cytoskeleton of
protein filaments that shapes the cell, transports and
anchors organelles, and allows cells to move.
- Some eukaryotic cells have cilia or flagella,
extensions of plasma membrane that
contain microtubules in a characteristics
pattern.
- DNA is contained within the nucleus, surrounded
by the double membrane of the nuclear envelope.
- The genetic material is organized into
strands called chromosomes, wich consis
