Â­Mesoamericans began writing during the mid-Pre-classic period. The Mayans were the first to keep any sort of historical record, and the beginnings of the calendar were born.

The nucleus is a membrane bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary information and controls the cell's growth and reproduction. It is commonly the most prominent organelle in the cell. The nucleus is surrounded by a structure called the nuclear envelope.
The animal cell is made up of three basic parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus and protoplasm. Consider the cell membrane as the gatekeeper. It surrounds the cell contents and separates the cell from other cells and from the external environment.
