Cell structure/organelle flashcards

Cell wall

Outer layer of a cell + structure/protects

Cell membrane/plasma membrane

Outer layer for transport

Ribosome

Makes proteins

Nucleus

Contains genetic information

Nucleolus

Creates ribosomes

DNA/chromatin

Genetic info

Vacuole

Storage

Smooth ER

Network that modifies and transports and does not contain ribosomes (mostly lipids)

Rough ER

Network that modifies and transports and contains ribosomes (mostly protein)

Golgi

Modifies and transports molecules out of the cell

Lysosome

Enzymes breakdown materials

Chloroplast

Create food using the process of photosynthesis

Mitochondria

Creates energy/cell respiration

vesicle

Transports within the cell

Cytoskeleton

Structure

Cytoplasm

Fluid, provide shape

Flagella and Cilia

Flagella- long tails

Cilia- tiny hairs

Prokaryote

Small

Simple

Free floating DNA

Eukaryote

Large

Complex

DNA in nucleus

Organelles

Both eukaryote and prokaryote

Membrane

Ribosomes

DNA

Animal cell

Small vacuole

Plant cell

Chloroplasts

Cell wall

Large vacuole

Both plant and animal cells

Mitochondria

Prokaryotes organelle’s/structure consist of

Cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome, DNA, cytoskeleton, cytoplasm, flagella and/or cilia

Animal eukaryote organelles

Cell membrane, ribosome, nucleus, nucleolus, DNA, small vacuole, smooth ER, rough ER, golgi, lysosome, mitochondria, vesicle, cytoskeleton, cytoplasm, flagella and/or cilia

Plant eukaryote

Contains all organelles listed

Name each of these organelles
