Ribosomes
Makes proteins by putting together chains of amino acids using instructions encoded in the cell's DNA
Golgi Complex
The membrane bound organelle that packages and distributes materials, such as proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids
Lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes, which break down worn-out or damaged organelles, waste materials, and foreign invaders in the cell.
Differences in plant and animal cells
Cell wall, chloroplasts, plant has larger vacuoles, animal has circular shaper while plants have square shapes.
Difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Eukaryotes have nucleus and membrane bound organelles while prokaryotes don't
Structure
The way an organism/cell is made
Function
The job it performs
Photosynthesis
Plants absorb sunlight to provide energy. Chloroplasts help the plant capture energy from sunlight to make food.
What is an organic compund?
Chemical compound that contains carbon atoms. Ex. Diamond, coal, oil
Cell wall
Rigid layer of non living material that surrounds the cell. gives the shape and support.
Cell membrane
Layer surrounding the cell. Inside the cell wall of plant cells. Controls what enters and leaves.
Cytoplasm
Clear, thick gel-like fluid between the cell membrane and nucleus. Contains the cell's organelles, which performs the necessary functions in the cell.
Nucleus
Large, oval structure towards the center of the cell. Directs all of the cell's activities
Genetic Material
The nucleus contains the chromosomes and DNA for an organism
Mitochondria
Rod shaped organelles that produce most of the energy in a cell.
Vacuole
Round water-filled sac that functions as the storage area of the cell.
Chloroplast
Large green structures that help a plant capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food.
