What do all cells have?
genetic info, cytoplasm & cell (plasma) membrane
Prokaryotic cells
no nucleus; DNA floats around, less complex, unicellular, ribosomes may be present for making proteins, may have a few other parts: cell wall, flagella, just bacteria
Eukaryotic Cells
has a organized nucleus with DNA inside, more complex, unicellular or multicellular, organelles: plants, animals, fungi, etc. …
Nuclear matrix
network of proteins that maintain shape of nucleus
nuclear membrane (envelope)
encloses cell DNA
nuclear pores
tiny holes in membrane that allow passage of other materials
nucleolus
location where ribosomes are made and partially put together
Chromatin
combination of DNA & protein
chromosomes
form from coiled chromatin when cell is ready to divide
cytoplasm
contains all organelles as well as cytosol
cytosol
gelatin-like watery fluid that has dissolved salts, minerals, & organic molecules
selectively permeable
allows some things to pass through and others not
lipid bilayer
