Cell theory
is a
fundamental organizing principle
of biology
Cell
is the
smallest unit
of
life
( cell theory state )
Cells
make
up
all
living
things
, including
unicellular
and
multicellular
organisms ( cell theory state )
new cells
can
arise
only
from
preexisting cells
( which is an important part of cell theory )
there are
two basic types
of
cells
:
prokaryotic
and
eukaryotic
cell
is a
structural unit
of
living things
cell contains
genetic material
The size of prokaryotic organisms is
1- 10 um
Prokaryotic cells don't
have
membrane-bound organelles
DNA form
in
PC
is
circular
DNA location
in
PC
is in cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
is
presented
in
PC
PC
doesn't have the
nucleus
there are
3 shapes
of prokaryotic cells:
rods
( bacilli ),
spheres
( cocci) and
spirals
Prokaryotes
are
unicellular
( consist of only
one cell
)
prokaryotic cells
are in
bacteria
and
Archaea domains
prokaryotes
do
not
a
nucleus
instead it has
nucleoid
prokaryotic cells do not
have
membrane-bound organelles
they are
encased
by a
cell-membrane
they are
encased
by a
cell wall
