1.1.1. Eukaryotic And Prokaryotic Cells Flashcards
Prokaryotes
They have a simpler cell structure and do not contain a nucleus or other large organells
Eukaryotes
They have a more complex cell structure and do contain a nucleus and other large organelles
Nucleus
Controls the cell and contains DNA
Cytoplasm
Site of chemical reactions
Cell membrane
Controls entry of substances into the cell
Cell wall
Provide the cell with it shape
Ribosomes
Produce protein
Mitochondria
Site of respiration
Slime capsule
-Protective layer to defend bacteria against toxins and
- to stop it from drying out
Flagella
Allows bacteria to move
Plasmids
-Small circular DNA molecules
- carry extra genes from the main DNA
Organelles in prokaryotic cell
