2. Cell the smallest living unit and the basic unit of function and structure for all living
things.
3. Nucleus contains the genetic information, or DNA, and controls the activities of the cell.
4. Plasma (cell) separates the contents of the cell from the surrounding fluid (interstitial fluid)
membrane
5. Semipermeable refers to the selective nature of the plasma membrane. It contains pores and
membrane channels that allow only particles of the right size or the right chemical nature
to pass through.
