GENBIO - Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Flashcards
Special Features of Plant Cell
- Has chloroplast
- Has cell wall
Special Features of Animal Cell
- Has lysosome
- Has centrioles
- Has centrosome
It create and store usable energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts
It provides the cell with rigid structure.
Cell Wall
Describe Prokaryotic Cell
- No nucleus
- Few organelles (no membrane-bound organelles)
- Small in size
Describe Eukaryotic Cell
- Nucleus
- Many membrane-bound organelles
- Large in size
A simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle.
Prokaryotic Cell
Prokaryotic cell’s DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the _______-
Nucleoid
Some prokaryotes have __________.
- Flagella
- Pili
- Fimbriae
Describe Flagella
- Long, whip-like appendages.
- Primarily used for movement.
It is a hair-like structures that are generally longer
than fimbriae but shorter than flagella.
Pili
It used for attachment and genetic exchange type of reproduction.
Pili
The genetic exchange is also called __________.
Conjugation
Shorter and thinner than pili and flagella, with a bristle-like appearance.
Fimbriae
Fimbriae is mainly used for ___________.
Attachment to surfaces
