All living cells fall into one of three broad categories—
Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya.
a group which are single-celled organisms that lack nuclei and other organelles.
prokaryotes
have true nuclei and other organelles such as mitochondria.
Eukaryotic cells
the control center of the cell and contains the genes (chromatin).
Nucleus
site of ribosomal RNA synthesis
Nucleolus
segregates chromatin DNA + protein) from cytoplasm.
Nuclear envelope
Mitochondrion convert the energy in the bonds of ___ and___ to readily available energy in the form of ATP
glucose, oxygen
– internal volume enclosed by plasma membrane.
Cytoplasm
