The key takeaways are that the passage reviews topics related to biology including experiments, cells, organic compounds, enzymes, photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, are typically smaller, and lack internal structures compared to eukaryotic cells which have a nucleus enclosed in a nuclear envelope and other membrane-bound structures like mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Some functions of proteins found embedded in the cell membrane include transport of molecules, cell signaling, cell adhesion and receptor sites for other cells.
