Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Plant & Animal Cell Differences
Plant cells have a central vacuole; animal cells do not.
Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a plasma membrane, while animal cells only have a plasma membrane
Plant cells have chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis; animal cells do not.
Comparison
Similarities
Both cells contain ribosomes
Both have plasma membranes.
Both contain DNA
Both have cytoplasm
Differences
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than their eukaryotic counterparts.
Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic cells are simpler in structure than eukaryotic cells.
Prokayotic cells do not have a nucleus, unlike eukaryotic cells
Cell Organelles and Their Functions
Plasma Membrane - Acts as a protective barrier around the cell
Nucleus - Contains the genetic material of the cell
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - Produces lipids
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - Produces secretory and membrane proteins
Lysosomes - Digests food and waste materials
Ribosomes - Act as development centers for proteins
Cytoskeleton - Similar to an animal skeleton in that it gives the cell its shape
Cell Wall - Aids in maintaining the shape of the cell
Golgi Apparatus - Modifies proteins
Mitochondria - Produces energy for the cell
Central Vacuole - Aids in maintaining cell shape by keeping constant pressure on cell wall; transports material throughout the cell.
Chloroplast - Where the process of photosynthesis occurs
