Cells Introduction
There are two main cell types to study closely. These are the Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes.
Eukaryotic cells
These cells have evolved to function very complex duties and these can be found within most the organisms living on planet earth.
The main components of a Eukaryotic cells are:
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Cell wall
Cell membrane/ plasma membrane
Golgi body
Cytosol/cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
Chloroplast
Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosomes
Prokaryotic cells contain some of the above cell components but most importantly lacks a cell nucleus. The job of the nucleus is performed by an organelle called plasmids which are circular shapes of the cell’s DNA.
