A | B |
nucleus | the control centre of the cell |
nucleolus | small circular structure(s) within the nucleus; may be involved in protein synthesis |
mitochondria | where energy in the form of ATP is produced |
ribosomes | where proteins are made |
endoplasmic reticulum | transport system in the cell |
golgi apparatus | packages up protein |
lysosome | special type of vacuole that breaks down large molecules and cell parts |
chloroplast | where photosynthesis occurs |
cell membrane | semi-permeable; it controls what moves in and out of the cell |
cell wall | protects and supports plant cells |
eukaryote | cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus |
prokaryote | a cell with no nuclear membrane and few (if any) membrane bound organelles |
vacuole | stores wastes, water, food |
cilia | short hair-like structures used for movement |
flagella | whip-like structure used for movement |
pseudopodia | "false foot" used for movement |
Features of Plant Cells | Cell wall, Chloroplasts, Large Vacuoles |
Cell Theory | 1. Cells are the basic unit of life 2. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 3. Cells come from existing cells |
Features of Animal Cells | No cell wall, lysosomes |
