Cells

• all living things are made up of

  cells
• cells can either be

  eukaryotic or prokaryotic
• examples of eukaryotic cells

  plant and animal cells
• example of prokaryotic

  bacteria
• nucleus


  contains genetic material that controls activities of the cell
• cytoplasm


  jelly like substance where most chemical reactions happen. it contains enzymes to control these reactions
• cell membrane


  holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
• mitochondria

  where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration take place
• ribosomes


  where proteins are made in the cell
• cell wall

  made of cellulose - supports and strengthens the cell
• permanent vacuole


  contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts.
• chloroplasts


  where photosynthesis occurs, which makes food for the plant. they contain chlorophyll, which absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis
• 3 structures that are in a plant cell but not animal cell


  cell wall, cellulose and permanent vacuole
• structures on a bacteria cell

  cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, plasmids, chromosomes, flagellum
• plasmid


  single rings of dna
• eukaryotic calls are


  complex
• prokaryotic cells are


  simple
• prokaryotic cells replicate by

  binary fission
