THE FOUNDATIONS OF BIOCHEMISTRY
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
Major Concepts
All cells have common structural elements.
All cells are defined by a plasma membrane, which
separates the contents of a cell from its surroundings and is
a barrier to diffusion. All cells are divided into two major
internal regions, the cytoplasm and a nuclear region. The
cytoplasm contains soluble enzymes, metabolites, and
cellular organelles. It is a very active and organized place,
with constantly changing interactions occurring between its
components. The contacts between biomolecules are
primarily weak, noncovalent interactions, which collectively
produce complex structure and functions. The nuclear
region contains primarily DNA and associated proteins.
Cells can be classified according to the complement of cellular
membranes and the complexity of the nuclear region.
There are two domains of single-celled microorganisms,
Bacteria and Archaea, which differ in specific biochemical
characteristics. Eukaryotes generally are larger than
prokaryotes and include all protists, fungi, plants, and
animals. The nuclear region of the single- celled organisms,
the nucleoid, has no membrane to separate it from the rest
of the cytoplasm. In addition, there are no other internal
membranes and no internal organelles. Eukaryotic cells
have plasma membranes as well as many membrane-
bounded intracellular organelles and a
