organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.

2
Prokaryotes
single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
New cards
3
Cell size
At 0.1 to 5.0 μm in diameter, prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 μm.
New cards
4
plant cell
a eukaryotic cell enclosed by a cell wall, containing a membrane-bound nucleus and other cell organelles.
New cards
5
animal cell
e eukaryotic cells that have both a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. no cell wall
New cards
6
Ribosomes
small organelle involved in the process of making protein, which is called protein synthesis. handles translation, which is the second part of protein synthesis. Ribosomes can be found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
New cards
7
Smooth ER
synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids.
New cards
8
Rough ER
produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function
New cards
9
Endomembrane system
group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.
New cards
10
Vacuoles
Membrane bound sacs that stores water, food, wastes, salts, and pigments
New cards
11
Lysosome
organelle containing enzymes that digest particles and that disintegrate the cell after its death.
New cards
12
Mitochondria
oval-shaped organelle found in the cells of almost all eukaryotic organisms. It produces energy, known as ATP, for the cell through a series of chemical reactions.
New cards
13
Chloroplast
(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
New cards
14
Integral proteins
channeling or transporting molecules across the membrane. Other integral proteins act as cell receptors.
New cards
15
peripheral proteins
Peripheral membrane proteins attach to the membrane but are not embedded in it. The peripheral membrane proteins function in support, communication, enzymes, and molecule transfer in the cell.

Structures embedded in Membrane structure

17
Phospholipids
a type of lipid molecule that is the main component of the cell membrane. Lipids are molecules that include fats, waxes, and some vitamins, among others. Each phospholipid is made up of two fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a glycerol molecule.
New cards
18
Saturated fatty acids
a type of fatty acid that lacks unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms. Because of the lack of double bonds, this type of fatty acid can no longer absorb any more hydrogen; it is saturated.
New cards
19
Unsaturated Fatty acids
carbon chains contain one or more double bonds with a terminal carboxylic group
New cards
20
Cholesterol & membrane system
New cards
21
Polysaccharides
long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.
