Understanding Cells: The Smallest Living Units
Cells are the smallest living units of an organism. They come in different
types, but they share three common traits:
• They have a cell membrane that separates the inside of the cell
from its environment
• They have DNA, which contains the genetic information that
directs the cell's activities
• They have cytoplasm, a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and
contains various organelles
The cell contains two main components: cytoplasm and DNA. The
cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and provides a medium for
the cell's organelles to function. The DNA, or genetic material, is located
within the nucleus and contains the instructions for the cell's growth and
reproduction.
The genetic material of a cell is contained within its nucleus. There are two
types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Eukaryotic cells are more
advanced and complex, with organelles such as the nucleus and
specialized structures. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, lack a nucleus
or membrane-enclosed organelles, but still have genetic material.
Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, are unicellular organisms that do not
have a nucleus. Organelles, which are the specialized parts of a cell with
unique functions, are not present in prokaryotic cells.
However, eukaryotic cells, which are found in plants, animals, and fungi,
have a nucleus that serves as the control center of the cell. The nucleus
contains DNA or genetic material, which directs the activities of the cell.
