1. Eukaryotes ‐Eukaryotes have eukaryotic cells that have a central control structure called a nucleus that contains the cell’s DNA.
2. 1) A plasma membrane encompasses the cell. Anything inside the plasma membrane is referred to as intracellular, while everything outside of the plasma membrane is extracellular. 2) The cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of cell. 3) Ribosomes are little granular bodies where proteins are made; thousands of them are scattered throughout the cytoplasm. 4) Each prokaryote has one or more circular loops or linear strands of DNA.
3. Prokaryotes -Prokaryotes have prokaryotic cells that do not have a nucleus; its DNA simply resides in the middle of the cell.
