    • Structures and Functions
      • control cellular activites
        • ex: hereditary metabolism reproduction
      • nucleolus
        • synthesizes rRNA and ribosomes
      • nucleoplasm (nuclear sap)
      • chromatin
        • DEF: a string of DNA  wrapped around histone protein
        • heterochromatin
          • DEF: densely coiled and condensed chromatin
