Cell Theory and Cell Organelles Flash Cards

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes:

Has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

• Prokaryotes

• Eukaryotes

• Archaea

• Bacteria

All cells (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) have 4 organelles. What are they?

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• DNA

• Mitochondria

Cell Organelles:

-convert the chemical energy stored in food molecules into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use

-aka creates energy from food

-site of cellular respiration

-found in all eukaryotic cells (both plants and animals)

What organelle is described above?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

Cell Organelles:

-break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell

-uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles

-found in animal cells

• lysosomes

• ribosomes

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

Plant Cells, Animal Cells, or Both:

Nucleus

• Plant Cells

• Animal Cells

• Both

• Neither

Famous Scientists: Robert Hooke (1660s)

• first to describe cells in cork

• discovered the law of universal gravitation

• developed the theory of evolution

• invented the microscope

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes:

Circular DNA

• Prokaryotes

• Eukaryotes

• Viruses

• Fungi

Plant Cells, Animal Cells, or Both:

Cell Wall

• Plant Cells

• Animal Cells

• Both Plant and Animal Cells

• Neither Plant nor Animal Cells

Cell Organelles:

-makes proteins; found in all cells

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Golgi apparatus

• Lysosomes

Cell Organelles:

-modifies, sorts, and ships proteins; can send proteins to other places within the cell or out of the cell

-found in all eukaryotic cells (plants and animals)

• Golgi Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Lysosome

• Mitochondria
