Prokaryotic Cells
An organism that lacks a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is Prokaryote?
An organism whose cells contain a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is Eukaryote?
The smaller and simpler type of cell.
What are prokaryotic cells?
The organelle where a eukaryotic organism's genetic material is located; the control center of the cell
What is Nucleus?
All living things are made of these.
What are cells?
A type of cell that is always unicellular.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
A type of organism made of eukaryotic cells that can make its own food.
What are plants?
The structure that both cell types use to control what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
A structure made of protein and rRNA that converts messenger RNA sequences into amino acid sequences with the help of transfer RNAs.
What is Ribosome?
An idea that cells are the basic unit of life.
What is part of the cell theory?
The location of DNA in a prokaryotic cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
What type of organelles are only found in eukaryotic cells?
What are membrane-bound organelles?
The genetic material found in both types of cells.
What is DNA?
A lipid bilayer that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, separating the inside of the cell from the environment and controlling what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The scientist who discovered cells while observing cork.
Who is Robert Hooke?
The two domains that contain prokaryotic organisms.
What are Bacteria and Archaea?
An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that modifies and transports proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
The structure found only in eukaryotic cells that stores DNA.
What is the nucleus?
A tough, protective barrier that surrounds the outer membrane of some types of cells.
What is the cell wall?
The process by which organisms grow by increasing cell number.
What is cell division?
The type of organisms that prokaryotic cells make up.
What are single-celled organisms?
A system of membrane-enclosed sacs and tubes in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells where proteins and lipids are synthesized.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
How does the level of organization differ between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
What is prokaryotic cells are simpler, while eukaryotic cells are more complex?
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
The theory that several key organelles found in eukaryotes originated as a symbiosis between separate single-celled organisms.
What is endosymbiotic theory?
