How different are the components used in a desktop, the laptop and the notebook?
Does a notebook use the same type of motherboard used in a desktop? Does it also used the same type of Pentium processor or hard disk, etc?

I mean, can I interchange them? Can I pluck out one component from my notebook and out it on my dektop?
If not, what is different?

If you mean are the components the same in design, yes. They however arent physically built the same! You wont find parts that will interchange!

No, the notebook components are engineered for small chassis so it won't fit/interchange. Few components from notebook can indeed go into desktop via specialized adapters.
Those that have such specialized adapter: HD and PC Card.

No, desktop and laptop components are different. If you buy components made for a laptop and try to put them into a desktop you will either get an error and worse fry your motherboard.
