CELLS!

Flagella

• Long tail-like structure for movement

• BOTH (Mostly Prokaryotes, Some Eukaryotes)

Cell Wall

• Found only in plant cells. Rigid structure that gives protection and support to the cell.

• BOTH (Plants and Prokaryotes)

Chromosomes

• Molecules that contain genes

• BOTH (Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic)

Ribosomes

• Sites of protein creation and synthesis: factory

• BOTH Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic

Centriole

• Almost exclusively in animal cells, cell division, 9+2 structure

• EUKARYOTIC (Animals)

Nucleus

• Brain of the cell

• BOTH (Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic)

Nucleolus

• Inside nucleus, makes ribosomes

• EUKARYOTIC

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Channel for proteins and materials to travel

• EUKARYOTIC

Nuclear membrane

• Double membrane that protects the nucleus

• EUKARYOTIC

Cytoplasm/cytosol

• Liquid substance on the interior of the cell

• BOTH (Eukaryotic & prokaryotic)

Vacuole

• Membrane sack for storage/transportation of material

• EUKARYOTIC (prokaryotes have vesicles which have no membrane, plants have massive central vacuole)

Cilia

• Hair like structures on outside of cell for movement and to collect food

• EUKARYOTIC

Mitochondria

• Energy storehouse, own DNA, respiration, double membrane

• EUKARYOTIC

Cell membrane

• Regulates passage of material in and out of cell

• BOTH (Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic)

Chloroplasts

• Only in plants, photosynthesis

• EUKARYOTIC (Plants)

Golgi apparatus

• Packages/addresses proteins that travel out of cell: post office

• EUKARYOTIC

Nuclear pore

• Holes to regulate passage of materials from cytoplasm to nucleus

• EUKARYOTIC (Prokaryotic nucleus doesn’t have a membrane)

Lysosome

• Hydrolysis digestion of substances w/ enzymes

• EUKARYOTIC

Peroxisome

• Dehydration synthesis / condensation reactions used to detoxify things

• EUKARYOTIC (Mostly Animals)

Cytoskeleton

• Microtubules & Microfilaments, support structure in cytoplasm

• BOTH (Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic)
