Prokaryotic Cells

organisms that do not have true nucleus and membrane bound cells organelles

Eukaryotic Cells

those that have true nucleus and nucleolus nd contain membrane bound cells organelles

Plasma membrane/Cell membrane

forms the outer boundary of the cell, through which the cell interacts with its external environment

or also calls plasmalemma, “cells fortification” or “gatekeeper of the cell

Cytoplasm

located between the plasma membrane and the nucleus, where most activities of cells take place

Nucleus

the most prominent structure in the cell, it is the cell’s mission control

plays a role in cell growth, metabolism and reproduction

Protoplasm

with organic compounds and inorganic compounds in solution

Nucleolus

spherical particle within the nucleoplasm that does not have a covering membrane

site of ribosomal synthesis

Nucleoplasm

fluid medium of the nucleus

consists of proteins, nucleic acids, DNA and RNA

Chromatin

the genetic material of the cell

46 chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes

Endoplasmic Reticulum

is a complex system of membranes that forms a collection of membrane bound cavities

cell’s pipe system

site of protein synthesis

Lysosomes

small digestive bodies in the cytoplasm that contain powerful digestive enzymes to enhance the breakdown of cellular components

cell’s stomach

Peroxisome

contains oxidase, enzymes capable of reducing hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide to water

cell’s firemen

Centrioles

form the spindle fibers during cell division and guide the duplicated chromosomes to their daughter cells

cell’s anchor

Ribosomes

are tiny granules distributed throughout the cytoplasm and are attached to the rough or granular ER

cell’s factories

Cilia and Flagella

cellular organelles located on the cell surface
