Eukaryotes Plant and Animal Cells. Eukaryotes have a nucleus

Prokaryotes Bacteria Cells Prokaryotes DO NOT have a nucleus

Cell Membrane Protection- Barrier to separate inside and outside environment Made of a lipid bilayer Controls what goes in and out of the cell ALL CELLS HAVE A CELL MEMBRANE

Cytoplasm Water based fluid with dissolved substances float in the cytoplasm ALL CELLS HAVE CYTOPLASM

Cell Wall Only found in plant cells Extra layer of protection OUTSIDE the cell membrane

Nucleus “Brain” of the cell CONTAINS DNA

Nucleolus Specific area in the nucleus where DNA is found

Mitochondria “Powerhouse” of the cell Breaks down food to make energy

Ribosome Makes proteins Found both in the cytoplasm and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum

Endoplasmic Reticulum Modifies proteins and is covered in ribosomes

Lysosome Contains enzymes that can break down the cell Found primarily in animal cells

Vacuole Storage of food and water Found primarily in plant cells

Chloroplast Makes food for plant by using energy from the sun ONLY FOUND IN PLANTS
