CYTOSKELETON
(P.73)
Supports and shapes the
cell
Eukaryote
Animal and
Plant
Jellylike substance that
contains molecules. In
Eukaryotic cells, it contains
organelles and fills the
space between the
nucleus and the cell
membrane.
Both
Animal,
Plant, and
Bacteria
The fluid portion of the
cytoplasm; it helps maintain
cell structure and provide
water for the cell.
