CELLS CHARACTERISTICS
- TYPES
- PROKARYOTIC CELLS •They have no nucleus. •They are only found in bacteria.
•They are usually unicellular.
•DNA is dispersed in the cytoplasm.
•Asexual reproduction.
- EUKARYOTIC CELLS •They have a nucleus. •They are found in all other living things. •They are usually multicellular.
•The DNA is in the nucleus.
•Reproduction: mitosis and meiosis.
- ANIMAL CELL
•Doesn't have a cell wall.
•It has some small vacuoles. Ex.= human cells.
- VEGETAL CELL
•Has a cell wall.
• It has chloroplasts. •It has a big vacuole. Ex.= the rose cells.
- SHAPE
- SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISMS
It depends on how they adapt to the environment.
- MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
It is dictated by the function that the cell performs.
- SIZE
- •It's measured in micrometres (μm). •Diameter between 0.5μm and 25μm.
•It's necessary to use a microscope to see most of them.
- STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS
- CELL MEMBRANE
It surrounds, protects the cell and controls the substances that come in andd out of the cell. It is selectively permeable.
- CYTOPLASM
The cell is filled with this. This gel-like substance contains organelles that carry out vital functions and important genetic material.
