Many of these structures act as if they are specialized organs.

Organelles

Contains nearly all of the cell’s DNA and the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules

Nucleus

Small dense region found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The assembly of ribosomes begins here.

Nucleolus

Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm. They are in charge of protein synthesis

ribosomes

Internal membrane system of folded sacs and tunnels within a eukaryotic cell. One part of it is key for protein synthesis

Endoplasmic reticulum

Modifies, sorts and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside of the cell. AKA: UPS

Golgi aparatus

Small organelles filled with enzymes. They are responsible for the breakdown of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins so they can be used by the rest of the cell. They break down “junk” organelles. AKA: the cleaning crew

lysosomes

Structure that is filled with liquid. Its pressure makes it possible for plants to support heavy structures such as leaves and flowers.

vacuoles

These organelles convert chemical energy found in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use

mitochondria

Organelles that capture energy from the sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis

chloroplast

These kind of cells have this.

nucleus

The two groups that eukaryotic cells are divided into.

Animal cells and plant cells

Term that describes the fact that eukaryotes are composed of more than one cell.

Multi-cellular

Their genetic material is found in their __________.

nucleus

Filled with internal structures called __________.

organelles

These cells are known for their lack of a __________.

nucleus

These organisms are the most common example of prokaryotes.

bacteria

They are made of one cell in other words they are ___________.

unicellular

Some use this structure as a means for locomotion or movement

flagella

Prokaryotic cells are usually _____________ and ______________ than eukaryotic cells.

Smaller and simpler

Plant cells have this structure surrounding it while animals cells do not.

Cell wall

Animals cells have this structure while plant cells do not.

Cilia or Flagella for movement

A network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape. It is also involved in movement and is found in eukaryotic cells.

cytoskeleton

Rough endoplasmic reticulum are considered rough because they have __________ on their surface.

ribosomes

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are alike in that they both have a _______ _____________ and at some point in their lives they contain _____

Cell membrane DNA
