Key Concepts & Definitions

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