Explain the function of cytoplasm, mitochondrion, cell membrane, flagellum, fimbriae, and nucleus. Identify and of these features that are specific to a prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Cytoplasm refers to the substance of the cell inside the plasma membrane. It is thick, aqueous, semitransparent, and elastic.
Mitochondria are the primary sites of ATP production. They multiply by binary fission and are specific to eukaryotes.
Cell membrane encloses the contents of the cell.
Fimbriae can occur at the poles of the bacterial cell, or they can be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the cell. They enable the cell to adhere to surfaces. Are specific only to prokaryotes.
Nucleus is a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane containing the genetic material specific to eukaryotes.
Flagellum aids in propelling the cell and is unique to prokaryotes.
