The Cell Lab Flashcards
No nucleus DNA in a nucleoid region
Lack organelles
Examples: bacteria, archaea
Prokaryotic cells
DNA in a nucleus
Have membrane-bound organelles
Examples: protists, fungi, plants & animals
Eukaryotic cells
are double-membrane bound organelles
Mitochondria
are the site of cellular respiration (mass production of ATP)
Mitochondria
have an inner membrane that is folded into cristae to increase surface area for
cell respiration
Mitochondria
have an inner compartment called the matrix (contains ribosomes, enzymes &
mitochondrial DNA)
Mitochondria
are double-membrane bound organelles
are the site of photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
have ‘pancake-like’ structures called thylakoids that contain chlorophyll
have an inner compartment called the stroma (contains ribosomes, enzymes &
chloroplast DNA)
Chloroplasts
