What is prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles?
The process by which cells maintain a stable internal environment, even when the external environment is constantly changing.

1. cell wall
2. chloroplasts
3. chlorophyll
4. central vacuole
What is the jelly-filled space inside a cell called?
What is the cytoplasm?
