Cell Structure and Membrane Transport

A primitive cell; typically very small; does NOT have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; includes ONLY bacteria

• Prokaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic Cells

Highly evolved cells; typically large enough to see with a microscope (or sometimes larger), contain a membrane-bound NUCLEUS and several organelles, found within Animals, Plants, Protists and Fungi

• Prokaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic Cells

This organelle contains DNA which includes the instructions for making proteins; it is a characteristic organelle of eukaryotic cells.

• Ribosome

• Nucleolus

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This heavily folded, membranous system makes fats and proteins for the cell; it may be rough or smooth

• Ribosome

• Vacuole

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Body

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A structure that is found in ALL cells; this selectively permeable barrier controls what enters and leaves the cell

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These structures are not considered true organelles; they may be free-floating in the cytoplasm OR bound to the surface of the rough ER; they help to make proteins

• Golgi Body

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Vacuoles

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These organelles contain digestive enzymes which are used to destroy the cell or harmful invaders of the cell

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Vacuoles

• Golgi Body

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This structure is common to plant cells, fungi, some protists and bacteria; it provides a tough, supportive external barrier for the cell

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Cytoskeleton

• Cytoplasm

This organelle is used primarily for storage; in plant cells it is exceptionally large and filled with water

• Lysosome

• Golgi Body

• Ribosome

• Vacuole

This organelle is found in autotrophic cells only; its job is to use light energy to make food for the organism during a series of chemical reactions called PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• Mitochondria

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

• Chloroplast
