Document Summary

The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms. There are two fundamental cell types: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Most prokaryotic cells are relatively small in size compared to eukaryotic cells. The size of prokaryotic cells is probably limited by the distance that molecules must diffuse or be transported inside the cell. Plasma membrane surrounds the cytoplasm, which collectively refers to the contents of the cell. Have few or no subdivisions delimited by internal membranes. Interestingly, recent research has identified membrane bound organelles or cytoskeletons of protein filaments in a few prokaryotic species. Are relatively larger in size compared to prokaryotic cells. The evolution of large cell size is thought to have made it possible for eukaryotic cells to act as predators; organisms that kill and consume organisms. Ions and small molecules such as atp, amino acids and nucleotides cannot diffuse across a large volume quickly.
