Anatomy of a Cell Vocabulary

Nucleus

• A membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that

  contains the DNA; the control center of the cell

• The basic structural and functional unit of living

  organisms

• A tough, protective barrier that surrounds the

  outer membrane of some types of cells

• The organelle that functions in energy production; the

  power factory of the cell
