Document Summary

A nucleus is a membrane - bound structure that contains chromosomes (dna) All plants, all animals, some fungi and algae. Internal cell organization is more complex in eukaryotes: Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryote cells. Nucleolus region within the nucleus where ribosomes are synthesized. The cytoplasm is a gel-like fluid located inside cells. Made up of all the cell"s internal contents: Cytosol -> the liquid portion only, without organelles. The plasma membrane is a selective barrier. Allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste. Surface area to volume ratio of cells is critical. Metabolic requirements set upper limits on the size of cells. As a cell increases in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area: As surface area increases by factor n^2, volume increases by factor n^3. Small cells have a greater surface area relative to volume. Eukaryotic cells have internal membrane that partition the cell into organelles. Organelles are complex internal structures with specialized functions.
