A detailed overview of cell structure and function, focusing on the composition and capabilities of cells, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types. It covers essential biochemicals, cell membrane components (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates), and the roles of cell membranes in various cellular processes. Key topics include membrane fluidity, lipid asymmetry, and the influence of temperature, acyl chain length, saturation, and cholesterol content on membrane properties. This material is suitable for university-level biology students. (404 characters)
