Support, permeable to water and dissolved minerals
The Cell or Plasma Membrane:
Found in
Structure
Function
Found in: Prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plants, animals, fungi and protist cells
Structure: Delicate double layer of phospholipid molecules
Function: Controls the movement of substance into and out of the cell
The Nucleus:
Found in
Structure
Function
Found in: Eukaryotic cells
Structure: Large organelle surrounded by a double membrane with pores called nuclear membrane
Function: Contains the genetic information of the cell which controls all the cellular function and activities
