Which type of cell contains organelles? Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Both Depends
Bacteria are - Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Both Depends
What is the main difference between eukaryotic & prokaryotic cells? They are found in different environments. Eukaryotes are alive, while prokaryotic cells are not. Eukaryotes contain a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not. All of the above
Remember! There are 2 main types of cells: Eukaryotic Prokaryotic Eukaryotic cells are larger & more complex. They contain a nucleus & organelles. Prokaryotic cells are smaller & do not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
How are eukaryotic cells like a factory? Video How are eukaryotic cells like a factory? Eukaryotic cells contain subunits called organelles that help the cell to perform specific functions.
Cell Organelles
The Cell Barrier The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds all cells.
The Internal Structure of Eukaryotic Cells The cytoskeleton: Supports & shapes the cell Helps position & transport molecules Assists in cell division Aids in cell movement
Several organelles are involved in making & processing proteins. The nucleus stores genetic information. Vesicles are membrane-bound sacs that hold materials.
Several organelles are involved in making & processing proteins. (cont 2 types of endoplasmic reticulum: Smooth ER: transition area where chemicals are stored for transportation to other parts of the cell Rough ER: transports chemicals between & within cells
Several organelles are involved in making & processing proteins. (cont The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, & packages materials from the ER for storage or release from the cell.
Several organelles are involved in making & processing proteins. (cont Ribosomes link amino acids together to form proteins.
Other organelles have various functions. Mitochondria supply energy for the cell. Vacuoles are fluid-filled sacs that hold materials.
Other organelles have various functions. Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest material. Centrioles are tubes found in the centrosomes. Help divide DNA Form cilia & flagella
Cell Movement Flagella Cilia Long, whip-like structure used for swimming Made of microtubules (cytoskeleton) Small, hair-like structures used for movement Made of microtubules (cytoskeleton)
Plant cells have cell walls & chloroplasts. A cell wall provides rigid support. Chloroplasts convert solar energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis).
What are the 3 main differences between plant & animal cells? Animal vs. Plant Cell What are the 3 main differences between plant & animal cells? Plant cells have a cell wall. Plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cells have 1 large vacuole, while animal cells have several smaller ones.
I have 2 types: rough & smooth. What am I? Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria Endoplasmic Reticulum Chloroplast
I contain enzymes & help defend the cell from bacteria & viruses I contain enzymes & help defend the cell from bacteria & viruses. What am I? Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria Vacuole Lysosome
I carry material from 1 part of the cell to another I carry material from 1 part of the cell to another. I don’t live long, but I can be recycled. What am I? Vesicle Vacuole Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosome
