Rayna Higuchi, Alexa Hozouri, Audrey Elloitt, Kevin Ding, Yusuke Tsutsuzaki

Period 1

Cell Membrane and Cell WallCell MembraneRegulates passage

in and out of cells.In both plant and

animal cells.

Cell WallRigid structureLocated outside of

the plasma membrane

Only in plant cellsProvides support

and protection

Nucleus and Nucleolus

NucleusInformation and

administrative center

NucleolusOrganelle in eukaryotic

cell nucleus Produces ribosomes

Endoplasmic reticulum and RibosomesEndoplasmic reticulumModifies proteins and

lipidsSmooth has no

ribosomes, rough has ribosomes attached

RibosomesProtein production sites

Cytoplasm and VacuoleCytoplasmClear, gelatinous fluidSuspends the cells

organelles

VacuoleMembrane-bound, fluid-

filled space in the cytoplasm

For temporary storage of materials

Mitochondria and ChloroplastMitochondriaPower generator for the

cell

ChloroplastCaptures light energy

from the sun and converts it into chemical energy

Only in plant cells

Golgi apparatus and CytoskeletonGolgi apparatusThe distribution and

shipping department for the cells chemical products

CytoskeletonCellular framework

found within the cytoplasm

Composed of microtubules and microfilaments

LysosomeOrganelle that contains digestive enzymesDigests excess or worn out organelles, food

particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria

Viruses Basic Structure

Contains general informationNOT livingMay have external structures and a membrane

Diagram

Examples: Hepatitis B, HIV, Measles, Mumps, Rabies, Ebola, Influenza

Prokaryotic cells vs. Eukaryotic cellsProkaryoticBasic Structure

Surrounded by a membrane and cell wall

Does not have membrane enclosed organelles(except ribosomes)

Examples: Blue-green algae, bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella)

EukaryoticBasic Structure

Plasma membrane Cytoplasm Cytoskeleton Presence of characteristic

membrane enclosed organelles

Examples: Plants, animals, fungi, protists

Plasma MembraneCharacteristics

Maintains homeostasis (balance with environment)Selective permeability- allows some molecules into the

cell while keeping others outStructure

Phospholipids Lipids with a phosphate group attached

Carrier Proteins Allows larger substances to move through the

plasma membraneCholesterol molecule

Helps stabilize the phospholipids Prevents fatty acid chains of the

phospholipids from sticking together
