2
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells What does ‘-karyotic’ mean? What does ‘Pro-’ mean? What does ‘Eu-’ mean? Having a Nucleus Before True
3
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Eukaryotic cells are plant and animal cells Prokaryotic cells are bacteria cells
4
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Similarities: Ribosomes genetic material cell membrane cytoplasm
5
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Differences: Prokaryotic cells less complex have circular DNA No nuclear envelope or membrane around the DNA Eukaryotic cells More complex have membrane-bound organelles double helix DNA with true nucleus, nuclear membrane or envelope around it
6
Nucleus Control center and vault for DNA
7
Cell Wall Structure, support and protection
8
Vacuole (larger and central in plants) Storage
9
Ribosomes Protein Synthesis
10
DNA Genetic material (blueprint)
11
Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane Semi-permeable, gatekeeper (controls what goes in or out)
12
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) Studded with ribosomes, does protein folding
13
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) Lipid synthesis
14
Lysosome Vacuum cleaner, breaks things down
15
Golgi Apparatus Post office of the cell – packages, sorts and transports things
16
Nuclear Envelope Gatekeeper for the nucleus, it is porous
17
Mitochondria Power plant for the cell, produces ATP
18
Chloroplast Produces Carbohydrates (Photosynthesis)
19
Flagella Mobility (movement)
20
Cilia Mobility (movement), and increases surface area
21
Questions Which organelle acts as the post office for the cell? Golgi Apparatus
22
Questions Which organelle synthesizes lipids? SER
23
Questions Which organelles are responsible for movement? Flagella and Cilia
24
Questions What is the purpose of the cell membrane? To regulate what goes in/out of the cell
25
Questions How does DNA look in a Prokaryotic cell? It is circular
26
Questions What makes the RER rough? It is covered in ribosomes
