Cell Membrane
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
100

The phospholipid bilayer does not allow these molecules to enter the cell

Large, Polar Molecules

100

This is the region where the DNA for a prokaryote is located.

Nucleoid

100

This is where RNA is kept within the cell

Nucleolus

200

These proteins are located on the outside of the cell membrane.

Peripheral Proteins

200

These circular structures of DNA are only found in Prokaryotes

Plasmids

200

Eukaryotes diverged from Prokaryotes due to what key difference?

Compartmentalization/ use of organelles.

300

These are used to transport molecules that can't cross the phospholipid bilayer.

Transport Protein

300

These photosynthetic prokaryotes are a major part of the endosymbiotic theory.

Chloroplasts/ cyanobacteria

300

Gained the ability to produce energy through respiration and photosynthesis because of what event?

Endosymbiotic Theory

400

This part of a phospholipid is hydrophilic

Fatty acid tail/ Phospholipid tail

400

These organelles are made up of DNA and located in the cytosol of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Ribosomes

400

Eukaryotes compartmentalized because it helped cells do what?

Do cellular processes more efficiently.

500

This lipid helps maintain both the membranes fluidity and its structure.

Cholestrol

500

These tendrils attached to the outside of a prokaryote cell membrane allow for the cell to move around

Flagella

500

These help eukaryotic animal cells split during cell division.

Centrioles
