[2014] Kayla Johnson: What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Cell Membrane

Vacuole

Rough E.R.

Golgi Apparatus

Cytoplasm

Lysosome

Ribosome

Centrosome

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Mitochodria

VacuoleA vesicle that stores water, salts, carbohydates, and proteins. they dispose waste product in the cell

CytoplasmThe fluid inside the cell that acts like a cushion

NucleusA membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's DNA and the has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction

LysosomeSmall vesicles contain enzymes and chemicals that help digest materials that come into the cell

RibosomeThe sites of protein synthesis found in the cell

Endoplasmic ReticulumsA network of sacs that are responsible for manufactoring processing, and transporting chemical compounds in the cell

Cell MembraneThe protective layer that covers the cell's surface and acts as a barrier

Golgi ApparatusA sac of membranes that collect and modify chemical compounds

CentrosomeAn organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains the centrioles (in animal cells) and from which the spindle fibers develop in cell division

MitochondrionThe 'powerhouse' of thecell that converts nutrients into energy that can be used by the cell

What is the difference between a eukaryotic and a prokaryotic cell?

A eukaryotic cell is an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane

A prokaryotic cell is a single-celled organism that does not have a nuclus or membrane-bound organelles
