2 Types of Cells
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic
Contains a nucleus and organelles (more developed)
Eukaryotic
Does not include a nucleus or specialized organelles
Prokaryotic
Make up the living structures of the body
Somatic Cells
Germs cells
Sex cells
Double membrane-bound, control center of the cell
Nucleus
Contains chromosomes, each of which consists of a single molecule of DNA
Nucleus
Small, discrete, spherical, densely staining structures made up of RNA, produces Ribosomes
Nucleolus
Very small rounded bodies found on both ends of the nucleus
Centrosome
Regulates the rate of cell division and multiplication
Centrosome
Contains Centriole
Centrosome
LONG, LINEAR chromatin materials combined with protein molecules
Chromosomes
Contains the GENES that represents all the traits of an individual
Chromosomes
Genes are composed of
Segmented DNA
Protective Layer
Plasma Membrane
Gives the size and shape of the cell
Plasma Membrane
3 layers and composition of the Plasma Membrane
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
SMALL SPHERICAL SAC formed by budding off from a membrane
Vesicle
Materials MOVE INTO A CELL into a vesicle formed from the plasma membrane
Endocytosis
Vesicles FUSE with the plasma membrane, RELEASING their contents into the ECF
Exocytosis
