Cytoplasm: Region of a cell between the nucleus and the plasma membrane.
Cell wall: Strong wall outside a plant cell's plasma membrance that protects the cell and maintains its shape.
Prokaryotic cell: Cell lackinga nucleus and most other organelles.
Eukaryotic cell: Cell with a nucleus and other internal organelles.
Diffusion: Net movement of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrate to where they are less concentrated.e
