An overview of the key structures and functions of eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, nucleus, organelles, and the two main types of cellular transport - passive and active transport. It covers important concepts such as the cell theory, the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and the roles of various cellular components like ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and mitochondria. The document also includes related questions that could be answered by studying this material, making it a potentially useful resource for students in biology, cell biology, or related university courses.

Concepts to Know
. 1. Prokaryotic Cells: Single-celled organisms that lack internal membrane Bound compartments (Genetic material (DNA) is in a circular molecule) (simple) i.e. bacteria. -Hvpothesized that the first type of cells on earth were prokaryotic
Directions: Write a P if the statement refers to Prokaryotes and an E ifthe statement refers to Eukaryotes, if the statement refers to both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes write a B on the line,
p 1. This type(s) of cell does not have bound compartments. .B_ 2. This type(s) of cell contains DNA. L 3. This type(s) of cell contains organelles. e 4. A bacteria cell is an example of this type of cell. L5. This type(s) of cell contains a nucleus.
Eukaryotic
Cell Structures & Functions All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane (plasma membrane). Within the membrane is the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Within the cytoplasm are organized structures that perform specific functions. These structures are called organelles. Please Note-The letters next to the structure of the cell indicates if it is found in A =animal cells and P = plant cells.
(A, P) Cell Membrane- surrounds the cell. It plays an active role in determining which substances enter and exit the cell. Some substances can pass freely through the cell membrane and others cannot, the membrane is said to be selectively permeable, or semipermeable. The cell membrane is composed of lipids (phospholipids) and proteins.

(A, P) Nucleus- control center for all cell functions. Within the nucleus are chromosomes and at least one nucleolus. The nucleolus is a site of RNA synthesis, and it may also be responsible for the production of ribosomes.
(A, P) Cytoplasm- the material in the cell outside the nucleus. It consists mainly of water. Within the cytoplasm are the various organelles of the cell. The cytoplasm provides the environment in which the organelles carryon the life processes of the cell.
(A, P) Mitochondria- are found in the cytoplasm. Most stages of cellular respiration occur in the mitochondria. The energy released during respiration is stored in the form of high-energy chemical bonds in molecules of ATP.
(P}Chloroplasts-contain green pigment called chlorophyll, which carries on the process of photosynthesis.

Related questions:
(A, P) Ribosomes- are small, dense granules(look like tiny circles on the diagrams) found free in
the cytoplasm and the nucleus and lining the membranes of some endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are composed mainly of RNA. They are the centers of protein synthesis in the cell.
(A, P) Endoplasmic reticulum-is a membrane-bound system of channels or tubes through which materials are transported within the cell. The membranes of the ER may also serve as sites of biochemical reactions. There are two types smooth and rough. The rough appearance is due to the presence of ribosomes on the membrane. Rough ER is found mainly in cells involved in protein synthesis. Smooth ERwhich has no ribosomes, is found mainly in cells involved in synthesis of nonprotein substances.
(A, P) Golgi Apparatus- is made up of a series of membrane-enclosed sacs, and it is usually found near the nucleus. This
organelle is associated with the production of Iysosomes and with the synthesis of various secretions. GOl91 Appua'bJ$
Two Types of Cellular Transport The cell membrane is semipermeable, some substances can pass through it freely, while others cannot. The movement of substances that can pass freely through the membrane depends only on the concentration gradient for that substance.

Sodium-potassium pump: One of the most important carrier proteins in animal cells. In nerve cells the pump is used to generate gradients of both sodium and potassium ions. These gradients are used to propagate electrical signals that travel along nerves.
