Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
This type of cell does NOT have a nucleus or membrane‑bound organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This whip‑like structure helps a cell move.
flagellum
Cells that need a lot of energy have many of these.
Mitochondria
Bacteria are examples of this type of cell.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This rigid structure provides support and protection in plant cells.
Cell wall
This organelle uses sunlight to make food for plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
These short hair‑like structures help move substances across the cell surface.
What are cilia
A cell’s shape helps it do this effectively.
What is its function/work
This type of cell contains a nucleus and membrane‑bound organelles.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This jelly‑like material fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is the cytoplasm
This structure makes proteins for the cell.
What is the ribosome
This structure helps maintain the cell’s shape and organization.
cytoskeleton
Long, thin cells are often adapted for this job.
What is transmitting signals (nerve cells)
This is one major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is the presence of a nucleus?
This structure stores water, nutrients, and waste, especially large in plants.
What is the vacuole
This structure holds DNA and controls cells activities.
What is the nucleus
This structure works with the cytoplasm to support organelles.
What is the cytoskeleton
Regulating what enters and leaves the cell helps maintain this.
What is homeostasis
Humans, plants, and animals are made of this type of cell.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This structure produces ribosomes inside the nucleus.
What is the nucleolus
These two organelles are ONLY found in plant cells.
What are the cell wall and chloroplast.
Cells that move mucus out of the lungs use this structure.
What are cilia.
Making proteins outside the nucleus is helpful because ribosomes are located here.
What is the cytoplasm
