Prokaryotes

Cells that do not contain membranebound organelles

Eukaryote

Cells that contain organelles and have a central organelle called a nucleus that controls all the cell’s activities. Plant and animal cells are this type

Cell

The basic unit of life

Cell membrane

Semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and embedded proteins.

Nucleus

It controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis). It also contains DNA assembled into chromosomes.

Nucleolus

Makes ribosomes.

Nuclear membrane

Materials can move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores in this membrane.

Cytoplasm

Jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located

Ribosomes

Proteins are made here.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

It is covered with ribosomes transports materials through the cell and produces proteins which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane.

Golgi body

Modifies & packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.

Smooth ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)

It does NOT have ribosomes on its surface. It makes proteins and lipids that will be exported by the cell. It also controls the Calcium level in muscles and detoxifies poisons, alcohol, and drugs.

Chloroplasts

Elongated or disc-shaped organelles containing chlorophyll that trap sunlight for energy

Photosynthesis

Process in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy - food It takes place in the chloroplasts.

Vacuoles

Fluid-filled sacs that fill with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell.

Central vacuole

Takes up most of the space in a plant cell

Mitochondria

Converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell

Lysosomes

Contain digestive enzymes. Nutrients are digested by the cell here, as well as, old cell organelles that are going to be recycled.
