No, making it a prokaryotic cell.
Which is more important; cytoplasm or the vacuole?
Every organelle is just as important. If one is missing, the whole cell cannot function
Definition of the Nucleus:
Controls the functions of the cell
Definition of the Golgi Apparatus:
Used for storage, protein packing and shipping
Definition of the Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Transports and stores materials in the cell and connects some organelles together
Definition of the Ribosome:
Produces proteins for the cell
Definition of the Cell Membrane:
Controls the materials coming in and out of the plant cell
Definition of the Mitochodria:
Produces chemical energy for animal and plant cells
Definition of the Chloroplast:
Produces chemical energy for the plant cell
Definition of the Vacuole:
Used for storage of water, food, and waste in the cell
Definition of the Chromosomes:
Contains the genetic information of the cell
Definition of the Cell Wall:
Support and protection for the cell
Definition of the Cytoplasm:
Fluid inside the cell that organelles and materials float around in
