| Prokaryote | A single celled organism that lacks a membrane bound nucleus and specialized organelles |
| Eukaryote | A type of organism composed of one or more cells containing a membrane-bound nucleus, specialized organelles in the cytosol and a mitotic nuclear division cycle |
| Organelle | A subunit within a cell that has a specialized function |
| Nucleus | A membrane bound organelle in eukaryotic cells functioning to maintain the integrity of the genetic material and through the expression of that material, controlling and regulating cellular activities |
| Golgi Apparatus | An organelle found in eukaryotic cells responsible for the final stages of processing proteins for release by the cell |
| Mitochondrion | A membrane bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells; site of cellular respiration |
| Ribosome | A cellular structure composed of RNA and proteins that is the site of protein synthesis in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells |
| Chloroplast | An organelle found in plants cells and the cells of other eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms where photosynthesis occurs |
| Plastids | A group of membrane bound organelles commonly found in photosynthetic organisms and mainly responsible for the synthesis and storage of food. |
| ROUGH Endoplasmic Reticulum | An organelle containing folded membranes and sacs responsible for the synthesis of proteins that are exported outside a eukaryotic cell |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | An organelle containing folded membranes and sacs responsible for the synthesis of lipids and steroids as well as the transport of synthesized macromolecules |
| Plasma membrane | A thin, phospholipid and protein molecule bilayer that encapsulates a cell and controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell through active and passive transport |
