- Organisms can be Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes
- Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms like bacteria
- Eukaryotic cells are organisms that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
- Plant and Animal Cells have Similarities and Differences
- Subcellular structures in animal cells
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Cell membrane
- Mitochondria
- Ribosomes
- NucleusContains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell
- CytoplasmJelly-like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen
- Cell membraneHolds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
- MitochondriaWhere most of the reactions for respiration take place, providing the cell with energy
- RibosomesWhere proteins are made in the cell
- Additional structures in plant cells
- Cell wall
- Vacuole
- Chloroplasts
- Cell wallMade of cellulose, it uses the cell and strengthens it
- VacuoleContains a dilute solution of sugars and waste
- ChloroplastsWhere photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight
- Bacterial cells are much smaller than plant and animal cells
- Bacterial cells don't have a "true" nucleus, instead they have a single circular strand of DNA that floats freely in the cytoplasm
- Bacterial cells may also contain one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids
- ChloroplastAn organelle responsible for photosynthesis, containing chlorophyll a and converting CO2 and H2O into glucose and O2 during photosynthesis.
- VacuoleA storage organelle that stores methylated polyamines, water, and solutes, and helps maintain cell turgor pressure.
- Cell WallA rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection to the cell, primarily made up of cellulose.
