, Types of organelles:
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic
Prokaryotic are small and simple like bacteria while eukaryotic are complexand include all
animal and plant cells as well as cells in algae and fungi
What are the distinguishing features of eukaryotic cells?
● cytoplasm containing membrane bound organelles
● DNA is inclosed in a nucleus
Describe the structure of the cell surface membrane:
Hydrophilic phosphate heads are attracted to water
Hydrophobic fatty acid tails repel water
Describe the function of the cell surface membrane:
Partially permeable: enables control of passage substances in and out of cells
Molecules/receptors/antigens on the curface of the cell surface membrane allows cell
recognition
