There is some pretty amazing stuff going on in the cell outside the DNA, too. To move stuff through the cell there are a series of things called microtubule. Think of them as like catwalks connecting various regions. To move things through the cell things called "motor proteins" are used. These are long proteins that attach at one end to thing to be moved, and (I'm not kidding) have a couple little feet at the other end that they use to walk along the microtubule towing their cargo.

Here's an animation of one walking:
