cells and microscopes

• what are the two types of cells

  prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells
• what is a eukaryotic cell

  multicellular, contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material, enclosed in a nucleus
• what is an example eukaryotic cell

  animal, plant, yeast
• what is prokaryotic cell

  unicellular, no nucleus, type of bacteria
• what is an example prokaryotic cell

  salmonella
• what does a plant cell contain

  cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome, nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplast
• what does an animal cell contain

  cell membrane, ribosome, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria
• nucleus

  controls the cell
• cytoplasm

  site of chemical reactions
• cell membrane


  controls what moves into and out of
• mitochondria

  release energy by respiration
• ribosomes

  produces proteins
• cell wall

  strengthens the cell and keeps its shape
• chloroplasts

  absorb sunlight for photosynthesis, holds chlorophyll
• permanent vacuole

  contains cell sap, stores water, nutrients, waste
• what do prokaryotic cells contain

  cell membrane, slime capsule, cell wall, plasmids, flagella, cytoplasm, genetic material
• where is all the genetic material held in the eukaryotic cell

  chromosomes in the nucleus
• where is all the genetic material held in prokaryotic cell

  circular chromosomes and plasmids
• what is the bigger cell

  eukaryotic cell
