prokaryote & eukaryote

Cards (22)

  • The cell membrane is a semi-permeable outer covering of cells that controls the entrance and exit of materials in the cell.
  • nucleus - genetic material, control the cell
  • cell menbrane - control substance in or out, semi-permeable
  • mitochondria - release energy locked up in glucose by aerobic respiration
  • cytoplasm - location of chemical reaction, contains dissolved nutrients, salt and organelles
  • ribosome - synthesis protein, tiny structure
  • animal cell size - 10-30μm
  • eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane, genetic material in nucleus, and they are multicellular
  • cell wall - (made of cellulose fibers) provide structural strength and support
  • vacuole - (filled with cell sap) could expand or shrink. keep the cell turgid
  • chloroplast - (contain chlorophyll) absorb light energy to make glucose(photosynthesis)
  • animal cell size - 10-100μm
  • prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm and cell menbrane surrounded by a cell wall, and they are unicellular
  • mitochondria is too big to fit in prokaryotic cells
  • bacteria use binary fission to reproduce
  • prokaryotic cells don't have genetic material in nucleus
  • loop of genetic material - DNA aren't linear, circular loop with no begin or end, flow freely
  • plasmid - small loops of genetic material, could be passed easily
  • flagellum - swim in water
  • slime capsule - prevent the bacteria from drying out (if in air)
  • bacteria cell size - 1μm
  • eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes
