WGU C190- intro to biology, Unit 3. Questions and answers, rated A+ Prokaryote - -small, simple, single-cell ria are the most prevalent kind. Eukaryotes - -larger, and most often they are multi cellular organisms, including plants, animals and fungi. Cell Membrane - -provides a barrier between the interior and exterior of the cell and it regulates the flow of substances in and out of the cell. Cytoplasm - -the space in which the chemical reactions that enable life take place. it is the fluid that occupies the space inside the cell. Ribosomes - -are the molecular machines that use the instructions contained in the DNA to build all the proteins needed by the cell.
