Basic unit of life
Thin flexible barrier that separates the cell from its environment
All living things are made of one or more cells; cells are the basic units of
structure and function; and new cells come from previously existing cells.
Cell with DNA that is enclosed in a nucleus
Cell structure that contains genetic material
Cell with DNA not enclosed in a nucleus
