Before we begin, from chapter 1, the cell theory states that all life is made up of cells and all cells come from pre-existing cells. 6 introduced the plasma membrane, a structure common to all cells. According to morphology (shape and appearance of organism), species fall into 2 categories: prokaryotes: lack a membrane-bound nucleus, eukaryotes: have a membrane-bound nucleus. According to phylogeny, the evolutionary history, organisms fall into 3 domains: bacteria (prokaryotic) 2. Cytoplasm: term that includes all the contents inside the cell: cytosol-- the fluid thingie + organelles. Generally don"t have any substances separated from the rest of the cell by internal membranes. Have a tough cell wall that protects, gives shape + structure.

Some have membrane-bound compartments that perform functions like: >hold crystals of magnetite that acts like a compass for the organism.
