The document discusses the structure and functions of various cell components, including the cell wall, nucleus, and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It explains the roles of the cell wall in providing shape and protection, the nucleus as the control center of the cell, and the characteristics that distinguish prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells. Additionally, it outlines the functions of cytoplasm and the importance of cellular components in metabolic activities.

(it is a rigid, non-living covering that lies outside the plasma
membrane in all plant cell, bacterial ce]l and fungal cells.)
(The ceil wall is absent in animal cells. When compared to
cell membrane, the cell wall is freely permeable in nature.)
(Ce wall is mainly composed of cellulose, a complex
carbohydrate that provides structural strength to the
plants. ) an
Functions of Cell Wall
Different functions of cell wall are as follows
(i). It provides definite shape to the cell.
(ii) It permits the cells of plants, fungi and bacteria to
“Withstand very dilute or hypotonic external media
without bursting.
In hypotonic medium, the cells tend to take up wate
by osmosis.
(The cell swells up building pressure against the cell
wall. The wall exerts an equal pressure against the
swollen cell.
Because of the presence of cell wail, these cells can
withstand ter changes in the surrounding

mechanical strength.Nucleus ~

Nucleus is differentiated into the following parts
(i) Nuclear membrandIt is the outer, double-layered

pores that allow the transfer ‘of materials from inside
the nucleus to the cytoplasm. )
(ii) Nucleoplasm(It is a liquid ground substance encloses
by a nuclear membrane. It contains nucleolus and
chromatin material. ) .
(iii) Nucleolug Jt is a more or less round structure found
inside the nucleus. It does not have @ covering or
membranes. It is known as the factory of ribosomes.)

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cell
| On the basis of complexity of cell structure and the absence
or presence of true nucleus, cells can be classified into
ide following two types
Prokaryotic Cells
(Gr. Pro-Primitive or primary: karyas-nucleus)
(These cells contain primitive unorganised nucleus whichis
not bounded by any membrane) In some organisms like
bacteria, the nuclear region of the cell is poorly defined
sg) _ Decause ofthe absence of nuclear membrane.
(The nuclear region in these organisms contains only
nucleic acid) Such an undefined nuclear region is called
nucleoid, and organisms whose cells lack a nuclear
membrane are called prokaryotes,)
Plasma

organelles. Many of the functions of such organelles af¢
