What are the characteristics of eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells are larger, have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus that contains DNA, and other organelles.
Why do eukaryotic cells have organelles?
Organelles separate incompatible reactions and increase the efficiency of transport inside the cell.
What is the function of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell?
The nucleus contains cellular genetic information (DNA) and provides instructions to guide cell activities.
What structures make up the nucleus?
The nucleus is made up of the nuclear envelope, nuclear pores, chromatin, and the nucleolus.
What is the role of the nuclear envelope?
The nuclear envelope is a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
What is the function of nuclear pores?
Nuclear pores transport materials in and out of the nucleus.
What is chromatin?
Chromatin is packaged coiled DNA that is well organized within the nucleus.
What is the nucleolus?
The nucleolus is the location of ribosome assembly within the nucleus.
