Two kinds of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic - Coggle Diagram
Two kinds of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Have four things in common: Plasma membrane, DNA, Cytoplasm and Ribosomes
Plasma membrane: a phospholipid bilayer that separates the cell's inner and outer environments
DNA: the cell's genetic material
Ribosome: organelle responsible for protein synthesis
Cytoplasm: jelly-like region where cellular components are found
Prokaryotic cells
Lacks nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
DNA is found in the central part(Nucleoid) of the cell
Includes bacteria and archaea
Eukaryotic cells
has nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Nucleus: holds the cell's DNA and directs protein synthesis
Includes plant cells and animal cells
Plant Cells
Have chloroplast, cell wall, and central vacuole (unlike animal cells)
Cell Wall: rigid structure outside of the plasma membrane meant for protection and structural support
Central Vacuole: Regulates the cell's concentration of water
Chloroplast: holds the pigment involved in gaining energy for photosynthesis
Animal Cells
Have centrioles, centrosomes and lysosomes (unlike plant cells)
Lysosome: Includes digestive enzymes that break down proteins, lipids and even old organelles
Share some organelles
Cytoskeleton: A network of protein fibers in the cytoplasm that maintains cell shape and organelle position.
Golgi Apparatus: Located at the end of the ER and sends proteins and lipids to their correct locations.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A series of membranous tubules that modify proteins and synthesize lipids.
Smooth ER: Named for its lack of ribosomes on its surface
Rough ER: Named for the studded appearance it has due to ribosomes being attached to its surface.
Mitochondria : Responsible for making ATP, the cell's primary energy source.
