Eukaryotic cells
Do not contain a nucleus.
Have their DNA located in a region called the nucleoid.
Prokaryotic cells
Contain a true nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells
Dietary energy; storage; plant structure.
Carbohydrates
Information storage genetic make-up.
Nucleic acids
Enzymes, structure, storage, contractions, transport, etc.
Proteins
Long-term energy storage (fats); hormones (steroids); hydrophobic, non-polar (No charge)
Lipids
Functions as a selective barrier (semipermeable)
Plasma membrane
Control the passage of nutrients and waste.
Plasma membrane
Boundary between the inside of the cell and it’s external environment.
Plasma membrane
Jelly-like living substance of the cell is called______.
Protoplasm/cytoplasm
Typically, it is translucent, grayish and slimy, where organelles located______.
Cytoplasm/proplasm
Cellular part that is Composed of water, salts, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other chemicals.
Cytoplasm/protoplasm
Genetic Library of the Cell
Nucleus
Control center of the cell.
Nucleus
A cellular part that is the largest and one of the most conspicuous structural area.
Nucleus
Contains most of the genes DNA in the eukaryotic cell_______.
Nucleus
It plays the central role in cellular reproduction and in conjunction with the environment, in determining what sort of differentiation a cell undergo and what form it will exhibit at maturity.
Nucleus
Protein factories in the cell
Ribosomes
Carry out protein synthesis.
Ribosomes
Biosynthetic factory
Endoplasmic reticulum
Is continuous with the nuclear envelope.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Folded membranes that serves as channels through which materials are transported in the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Shipping and Receiving Center of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Manufacture, process, and package of certain macromolecules.
Golgi Apparatus
Packaging factories of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Chemical Energy conversion of the cell.
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
Converts food molecules into energy (ATP) through Cellular Respiration.
Mitochondria
_________is the process that releases energy from food.
Cellular Respiration
ATP stands for_____
Adenosine Triphosphate
Is the energy currency of the cell.
ATP
Waste products of cellular respiration are______
Water and Carbon dioxide gas
Garbage collector of the cell and Digestive compartments of the cell.
Lysosomes
Is a membranous sac of strong hydrolytic enzymes.
Lysosomes
Digest bacteria, other foreign substances and worn out cell parts.
Lysosomes
Capture of light energy of the cell.
Chloroplast
Contain chlorophyll (green pigment)
Chloroplast
Found only in plants (green pigment)
Chloroplast
Are the sites of photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
The entire process of capturing light energy to produce food - energy rich organic molecules ( plants, algae, and other chlorophyll -bearing organism) from carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis
Needed materials: Sunlight, Water, Carbon dioxide and it’s waste product is oxygen.
End Product: sugar (Glucose)
Photosynthesis
Located outside the cell membrane, protective layer of the cell.
Cell wall
Plant cell wall is made up of_____.
Cellulose
Fungal cell wall is made up of_____.
Chitin
Are found in plants. Holds reserves of important organic compounds and water. Can take up to 30-90% of cells volume.
Central vacuoles
Mechanical support, network of fibers.
Cytoskeleton
Are the thin structures essential for cytokinesis, amoeboid movement and changes in cell shape.
Microfilaments
Short Hair-like structure
Cillia
Long whip-like structure
Flagella/flagellum
Contains 1 or 2 centriole which are small dark bodies located above the nucleus. They play an important role in organizing the spindle during cell division.
Centrosome
Are membrane-enclosed cavities filled with either fluid or granular material.
Vacuoles.
Some vacuoles expels excess water and wastes from cell which are called ____.
Contractile vacuoles
