Prokaryotic cells

Unicellular organisms with no nucleus, or membrane-bound organelles

Eukaryotic cells

Generally multicellular organisms with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

A nucleus

Helps store genetic material

Ribosomes

Helps make proteins

Robert Hooke

First looked at dead cells. Coined the term "cell"

Anton van Leeuenhoek

Observed pond water, coined the term "Animalicules", and discovered protists

Matthias Shleiden

Made the statement that cells make up plants

Microtubules

"Tracks" for moving the organelles, give the cell shape

Centriole

Found in animal cells and most protists. Play an important role in cell division

Cilia

Short, numerous, hair like projections.

Flagella

Longer hair like projections that move with a whip like motion. Cells have 1 or fewer flagella

Lysosomes

Organelles that contain digestive enzymes

Chloroplast

Found in plant cells. Capture light and converts it to chemical energy

Mitochondria

Found in animal and plant cells. Transform energy for the cell. Have their own DNA

Vacuole

Fluid filled membrane used for temporary storage

The cell theory

1. Every living thing is made up of 1 or more cells


2. Cells are the basic unit of life


3. Cells are produced only from pre-existing cells

All cells have a

Cell/plasma membrane

All cells

Posses genetic material which helps the cell make proteins

Nucleolus

Helps make ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

A flattened stack of tubular membrane that packages proteins

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Helps transport products to the golgi apparatus

Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

Produces lipids and hormones to remove toxins from the body

Plant cells are different from animal cells because

Plant cells have cell walls

Chromosomes are located in the

Nucleus

Plant cells have a larger

Vacuole then animal cells
