Cells are the basic unit of structure and function for all
living things.
Cells occur in two basic forms: Prokaryotes (Bacteria and
Archaea) and Eukaryotes (all other cells).
A cell’s interior is separated or compartmentalized from
the environment by a phospholipid bilayer plasma
membrane.
The cytoplasm contains a collection of connected,
internal membranous sacs that divide the cytoplasm into
functional and structural compartments or organelles.
Each organelle has a specific and necessary function.
Chemical reactions and processes necessary for life are
carried out in cytoplasm or organelles within a eukaryotic
cell’s protoplasm.
Structure is related to function at the cellular and
organelle levels of biological organization.
