Cell organelles

Prokaryote

Cell with no nucleus or membrane bound structures

Eukaryote

Cell with membrane bound organelles and a nucleus

Cell membrane

A semi permeable boundary between the cell and its environment

Cytoskeleton

made of proteins in the cytoplasm. provides support and structure

cytoplasm

clear gel like fluid that holds the organelles

nucleus

where dna is stored in a eukaryotic cell

nucleolus

inside nucleus, makes ribosomes

ribosomes

where proteins are made

rough er

hugs the nucleus and has ribosomes attached to it

smooth er

attached to rough er and makes lipids

golgi apparatus

packages, sorts, and modifies proteins

vesicles

transports proteins throughout the cell

lysosomes

has digestive enzymes that break down harmful substances

vacuole

storage for the cell

centrioles

made of microtubules, help the cell divide

cilia

short, hair like projection that moves fluid across the cells surface

flagella

long, hair like projection that uses a whip like motion for movement

mitochondria

where cellular respiration happens, breaks down food into usable energy

chloroplast

only in plants, site of photosynthesis

cell wall

firm, fairly rigid structure found outside plant cells for support
