Cell Theory |
Describes the basic properties of cells. |
Not proven, just a theory. |
|
|
Prokaryotes |
Single-celled organism that have no distinct organelles. |
Commonly bacteria. |
|
|
Eukaryotes |
Have DNA chromosomes and distinct organelles. |
Doesn't include eubacteria and archaebacteria. |
|
|
Nucleus |
The brain of the cell. |
Located in the cytoplasm of a cell. |
|
|
Chromosome |
Holds nucleic acids and proteins that contain genetic information.
|
Located in the nucleus. |
|
|
Nucleoid |
Holds genetic information similar to the nucleus. |
Found in prokaryotic cells. |
|
|
Plasmids |
A circular DNA strand that copies chromosomes. |
Found in some bacteria and Protozoa. |
|
|
Flagella |
The end-tail of organelles.
|
Allows movement through the cell. |
|
|
Cell/plasma membrane |
The membrane that encases the nucleus.
|
Found right outside the nucleus. |
|
|
Cell wall |
The outer shell of a plant membrane. Encases the cell and its membrane.
|
Only found for plant cells. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Made of RNA and proteins, it binds them and transports them for synthesis.
|
Found in the cytoplasm. |
|

|
|
Nucleolus |
A structure in the nucleus used during cell inter-phase.
|
Very dense. |
|
|
Crytoskeleton |
Gives the cytoplasm its shape and structure. |
