Eukaryotes vs. Prokaryotes
What type of cell contains DNA in its nucleus?
Eukaryotes
What is the protective, semi-permeable layer protecting the cell?
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Directs the cell's activities.
Contains the genetic material (DNA, Chromosomes)
What is the organelle that transports proteins?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum
What type of cell has no membrane-bound organelles?
Prokaryotes
What organelle traps sunlight for photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts
Cell Wall
The rigid outer layer of the PLANT cell that provides support to the cell.
What is the largest organelle in the plant cell?
The vacuole
What type of cell has its DNA in the cytoplasm?
Prokaryotes
Where are proteins made?
Ribosomes
Vacuoles
Stores food, water, wastes, etc.
Much larger in plants.
What is the cell theory?
1. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life.
3. All cells come from existing cells.
What are the largest group of prokaryotes?
Bacteria
Where are proteins folded and modified?
Golgi apparatus
Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration.
Convert food into energy that the cell can use.
What is the function of ribosomes?
To make proteins
What type of cells contain ribosomes?
Both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
Where are proteins made?
Ribosomes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Responsible for the transportation of proteins- which are created on the ribosomes it contains.
What is the difference between the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The rough ER has ribosomes and makes and delivers proteins.
The smooth ER does not have ribosomes and it makes fats and lipids.
