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 |
