GPT-4o mini
All living cells generally contain four essential components:
1. **Cell Membrane**: This is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell, regulating what enters and exits, and maintaining the internal environment.
2. **Cytoplasm**: The jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains various organelles and is the site for many cellular processes.
3. **Genetic Material (DNA/RNA)**: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic blueprint for the organism, while RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene expression.
4. **Ribosomes**: These are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis, translating the genetic information into proteins that perform various functions within the cell.
These components are fundamental for the structure and function of all living cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
