Basic Parts of ALL Cells • Plasma membrane • Serves as the outer boundary of the cell
Basic Parts of ALL Cells: 2. Cytoplasm • Fluid inside the plasma membrane that contains dissolved molecules 3. Genetic Material • DNA that regulates the functions of the cell
Size • Complexity • Presence of a nucleus • Nucleus = membrane-bound structure that houses DNA • Presence of organelles • Organelle = membrane-bound intracellular structures with a specific function
Picking apart the words… • Prokaryote • “Pro” = before • “kary” = nucleus • Eukaryote • “Eu” = true • “kary” = nucleus
