| Dense fluid where many cells biochemical and synthetic activities occur | Cytoplasm |
| Extrachromal DNA that is smaller than the cell chromosome, not essential for cell growth and transmissible to other cells | Plasmid |
| Short and numerous surface appendages that provide adhesion | Fimbriae |
| Gel like covering that is protective and can be associated with virulence | Capsule |
| Short appendage used to propel protozoa through a fluid environment | Cilium |
| Tightly coiled bodies within cells that are composed of DNA | Chromosomes |
| Small, dormant, resistant derivative of a bacterial cell that can germinate into a vegetative state | Endospore |
| Filamentous network of carbohydrate-rich molecules that coat cells | Glycocalyx |
| Organelle that participates in packaging and secretion of molecules | Golgi Apparatus |
| Cytoplasmic organelle containing lysozyme and hydrolytic enzymes | Lysosome |
| Long appendage used to propel an organism through a fluid environment | Flagellum |
| double membraned organelle containing it own DNAand ribosomes and is main site for aerobic respiration | Mitochondrion |
| Prominent double-membraned organelle that houses the majority of cell's DNA | Nucleus |
| Small and stiff filamentous appendage that functions in DNA exchange during conjugation | Pilus |
| Bilobed RNA and protein complex that constitutes the protein assembly in cells | Ribosome |
| Series of ribosome covered tunnels that originate in the outer membrane of the nucleus and are used for transport and storage | Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| Series of tunnels lacking ribosomes that function in nutrient processing | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
| Provides structural support and shape of a cell | Cell wall |
| Molecular covering that surrounds the cytoplasm that functions in protection, transport, communication and secretion | Cell membrane |
| Viruses | Are not cells and are neither prokaryotic or eukaryotic |
| Prokaryotic | small and simple appearing |
| Eurkaryotic | larger and structurally more complicated |
