Cell Structure and Function NEET With Diagrams v2
- Definition: The cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of life. It is the smallest unit
- Cell Theory:
- Types of Cells:
* Prokaryotic cells: Simple, lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g., bacteria).
* Eukaryotic cells: Complex, have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g., plants,
animals).
2. Prokaryotic Cell:
- Characteristics:
- Key Structures:
* Plasmids: Small circular DNA molecules that carry extra genetic information.
3. Eukaryotic Cell:
- Characteristics:
- Key Organelles:
