All Cells Contain (6)? These structures are common between all cells.
Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, DNA, RNA, Proteins, at least 1 Ribosome
Function of cell membrane
Acts as a boundary for the cell and allows/prevents certain substances from enter/exiting
Main Points of Cell Theory
1) Cell is the basic unit of life 2) All life is made of one or more cells 3) Cells originate from pre-existing cells through reproduction
Prokaryotic Cell
Simple cell, single circular piece of DNA, NO nucleus
Eukaryotic Cell
Complex cell, membrane bound organelles, multiple pieces of DNA within nucleus
Nucleus
Control center of the cell; contains hereditary material
Chromosomes
Contain DNA which controls cellular processes
Nucleolus
Assembles proteins and RNA that will form ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
channels that allow movement of substances from place to place within the cell
Golgi Complex
organelle that stores, modifies, packages materials in vesicles for transport within the cell or for export from the cell
Lysosome
Contains enzyme for cell digestion
Mitochondria
site of aerobic cellular respiration; forms ATP
Chloroplasts
Site of photosynthesis
Ribosomes
Sites of protein synthesis
Vacuole
Contains water and solutes, wastes, or nutrients
