Eukaryotic Cell Notes

Vocabulary flashcards covering the definition, characteristics, and structures of eukaryotic cells based on lecture notes.

Eukaryotic cells

Cells whose nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Nuclear membrane

The membrane surrounding the nucleus that seperates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm.

Nuclear pores

Perforations in the nuclear membrane that allow the exchange of materials between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Organisms with eukaryotic cells

Organisms in which eukaryotic cells are found, including protist, fungi, plants, and animals.

Membrane bound structures

Internal cellular structures found in eukaryotic cells, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, and golgi apparatus.

Chromosomes

Structures formed in eukaryotic cells when DNA is associated with proteins.
