Eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells share some of the same features, including:
In addition to the components listed above, eukaryotic cells are likely to have several organelles, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus and an endoplasmic reticulum.
Prokaryotes may contain:
Viruses, being acellular and non-living, have a somewhat different structure. They are much smaller than bacteria, and have nucleic acids contained within a protein . They may have an outer lipid envelope studded with , which are used to bind to a host cell in order to replicate.
Multicellular organisms often have specialised cells to overcome their low . Similar cells with a common function work together as , several of which can form an organ. Organs which work together are called organ systems.
Microscopes are useful tools for studying cells and their contents. Optical microscopes are cheaper and easier to use than electron microscopes, but their is limited by the wavelength of light. Electron microscopes have several limitations, including the fact that they cannot be used to view specimens.
