Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells

Cards (14)

  • Eukaryotic cells are all animal, plant, and fungi cells
  • Eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus containing DNA
  • Prokaryotic cells are single-celled
  • Bacteria are single-celled living organisms and are much smaller than eukaryotes
  • Prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and cell wall.
  • The DNA in a prokaryotic cell is not in a nucleus - it's in a loop
  • Cell membrane - both - control what goes in and out of the cell
  • Cytoplasm - both - chemical reactions take place
  • Nucleus - both - stores and controls activites of the cell
  • Ribosomes - both - protein synthesis
  • Mitochondria - both - where aerobic respiration takes place
  • Chloroplast - plants - where photosynthesis takes place
  • (Permanent) Vacuole - plants - contains cell sap (keeps the cell rigid)
  • Cell wall - plants - made of cellulose and provides strength and support
