Cells (Smallest living unit and microscopic)
Prokaryotic
First cell type on Earth
Unicellular
No membrane bound necleus
Nucleoid is the region of DNA concentrarion
Organelles are not bound by membranes
Bacteria and Archaea
Eukaryotic
Have Organelles
Nucleus bound by membrane
More advanced than Prokaryotic
They are found in plants, animals and fungi
Cytoplasm
Gives the cell its shape
Contains all the other organelles
Jell-like
Organelles
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Set of folded membranes
Plays major role in the production, processing and transport of proteins and lipids
Connected to the necleus
Golgi Apparatus
Shipping station of the cell
Helps to finish, sort and package the proteins made by the Endoplasmic Reticulum and ribosomes
Involved in synthesis of the plant cell wall
Vacuoles
Membrane bound storage sacs
More common in plants than animals
Lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes
Mitochondria
Breaks down fuel molecules such as glucose and fatty acids
Realeases energy
Chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll, the pigment which traps light energy
Site of photosynthesis
Cell Membrane
Thin layer that protects the cell
Determines what substances can pass into and out of the cell
Contains cell contents
Double layer of phospholipids and proteins
Cell walls
Supports the plant and protects the cell
Made of cellulose and are a rigid, strong, stiff outer layer
Found in plants
Allows water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass into and out of the cell
DNA
Hereditary material
Chromosomes
Proteins
Form for cell division
Chromatin
