| Concept | Definition | Example/Note |
|---|---|---|
| Prokaryotic Cell | A simple cell without a nucleus, with DNA in the cytoplasm. | Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes. |
| Eukaryotic Cell | A complex cell with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. | Animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. |
| Cell Membrane | A semi-permeable membrane that controls substance exchange between the cell and its environment. | Composed mainly of phospholipids and proteins. |
| Organelles | Specialized structures within a cell that perform distinct functions (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria). | Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. |
| Cell Cycle | The series of events that lead to cell division, including mitosis and meiosis. | Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells. |
