What is a cell?
A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.
What are the two main types of cells?
The two main types of cells are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is the function of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What is the function of the nucleus?
The nucleus contains the genetic material and controls the cell's activities.
What are organelles?
Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that have specific functions.
Name three examples of membrane-bound organelles.
Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are examples of membrane-bound organelles.
What is the function of mitochondria?
