GCSE Biology - Cell Types and Cell Structure #2
Cognito・2 minutes read
Cells are the basic unit of life, with animals, plants, and bacteria containing different types of cells, either multicellular or unicellular. Animal and plant cells have common subcellular structures like cell membranes, nuclei, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ribosomes, while plant cells have additional features like a cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplasts, and bacterial cells consist of a single cell with specific components such as a nucleoid, plasmids, and flagella.
Insights
- Animal and plant cells share common subcellular structures like cell membranes, nuclei, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ribosomes for essential functions.
- Bacterial cells, as prokaryotes, have distinct features including a single cell with a cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and a nucleoid containing DNA, with additional elements like plasmids and flagella for specific functions.
