Living cells

contains membrane, a fluid called cytosol and genetic material.

Prokaryotic cells

little internal definition, free floating genetic material, non-membrane bound organelles, more primitive.example bacteria.

Eukaryotic cells

Complex internal structures, membrane bound organelles, clearly defines nuclear envelope, DNA located in nucleus. Includes animal, plants, fungi and protists.

Plasma/cell membrane

surrounds the cell and regulates movement into and out of the cell, provides structure to the cell.

Cell wall

present in both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells, present in plants and fungi-not animals. Cell wall lies outside the plasma membrane.

Nucleus

Contains the genetic information of the cell. only present in Eukaryotic cells.

Mitochondria

Site of cellular respiration, produces ATP which is used for energy within the cell absent in Prokaryotics.

Ribosomes

Synthesis of protiens, present in both ekaryotics and prokaryotics.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Aids in protien synthesis and transports materials within the cell. absent in prokaryotics

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

The site of steroid and lipid synthesis

Golgi body

Package (into membrane bound vesicles) and export protiens (out of cell). Absent in prokaryotics

Lysosome

responsible for programmed cell death-Appoptosis, breaks down large molecules, digest old cell parts. Absent in prokaryotics

Microfilaments

Threads of protien called actine, sit inside the plasma membrane and help with endo and exocytosis

Microtubules

Made of the protien tubulin, in plants, sit below the plasma membrane and the addition of the cellulose to the cell wall.

Chloroplast

contains green pigment chlorophyll, where photosynthesis happens, only in plants.

Chlorophyll

Outer membrane with folder internal layers called grana. fluid between grana is called stroma.

Cytoplasm

Semi-fluid like substance that surrounds the organnelles. many chemical processes occur here.

Nacuole

Used for food or water storage or to create turger in plant cells.

Flagella and cilia

Whip like structure used for movement, Flagella/flagellum when one or two present, Cilia when more are present
