cells morgan

• Eukaryotic cells


  Cells that are complex, found in all animals and plants
• Prokaryotic cells


  Cells that are smaller and simpler, found in bacteria
• All living things are cells
• Subcellular structures in animal cells

  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell membrane
  • Mitochondria
  • Ribosomes
• The nucleus contains genetic material
• The cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions happen
• The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell
• Mitochondria are where aerobic respiration takes place, transferring energy
• Ribosomes are where proteins are made
• Plant cells have all the same subcellular structures as animal cells
• Additional subcellular structures in plant cells

  • Cell wall
  • Permanent vacuole
  • Chloroplasts
• The cell wall is made of cellulose
• The permanent vacuole contains cell sap
• Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place
• Subcellular structures in bacterial cells

  • Cell wall
  • Cell membrane
  • Cytoplasm
