 CELL TYPES
There are two major cell types:
• Prokaryotes that comprise the cells of archaea
and bacteria.
• Eukaryotes, traditionally divided into animals
and vegetables, although fungi and protists are
also included.

• Individuality: All cells are
surrounded by a wrapper
• They contain an aqueous
internal medium, the
cytosol, which forms most of
the cell volume
• They have genetic material
in the form of DNA, the
hereditary material of genes
• Nutrition. Cells take substances
from the environment, transform
them from one form to another,
release energy.
• Growth and multiplication The
cells are able to direct their own
synthesis
• Evolution. Unlike inanimate
structures, unicellular and
pluricellular organisms evolve
