How is one cell of the main memory arranged?
Good day. As you know, one memory cell consists of one transistor and one capacitor. The capacitor either stores a charge or not, which by analogy is a logical unit, or zero, namely one bit. But many sources say that a memory cell contains >= 1 bit. And in modern computers, one cell contains 1 byte of information. The question is: How is the storage of information in 1 byte achieved? Am I confusing something, or the source from which I took it?

I beg your pardon. I found the answer to the question myself. A cell contains only one bit. But a line can contain up to several memory cells. The charge opens access to all transistors at once, which means that the entire line is read. Although now I don’t understand why the string is then called a cell :) Or am I confusing something again ..
