Key Topics to Revise
1
The Cell Theory
- All living organisms are made up of cells.
- The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
- All cells arise from pre-existing cells (Omnis cellula-e-cellula).
2
Types of Cells
- There are two main types of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic.
- Prokaryotes lack a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g., bacteria).
- Eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g., plants, animals, fungi).
3
Structure and Function of Cell Components
- Plasma membrane is selectively permeable and made of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins (Fluid Mosaic Model).
- Cell wall in plants is made of cellulose and provides rigidity and shape.
- Cytoplasm contains organelles like mitochondria, ER, Golgi, lysosomes, etc.
4
Cell Organelles and Their Functions
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Network of membranes; rough ER has ribosomes for protein synthesis, smooth ER for lipid synthesis.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery.
- Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes; break down waste and pathogens.
