Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells. The smaller a cell, the greater its surface to volume ratio. The smaller the surface to volume ratio, the more structurally complex (compartmentalized) a cell needs to be in order to carry out life functions. There are fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

It consists of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophobic tails inward and includes integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Integral proteins traverse the bilayer, while peripheral proteins are loosely attached. Some proteins are fixed in place by the cytoskeleton or extracellular matrix, and others are restricted by tight junctions.

It describes the sequence of events post-fertilization or cell division, including interphase comprising G1, S, and G2 phases. It also mentions the potential for cells to enter a non-dividing (G0) phase or undergo endoreduplication.

Cilia are abundant, while flagella are fewer, aiding in functions such as sperm movement and clearing mucus in respiratory systems. Notably, almost all mammalian cells have a primary cilium that is important for sensory functions, with defects linked to diseases like polycystic kidney disease.

It explains RNA processing's role in transforming pre-mRNA into mature mRNA, promoting mRNA stability, nuclear export, and translation initiation. RNA splicing involves removing introns and linking exons with spliceosome assistance, while polyadenylation entails adding a poly-A tail for mRNA stability.
