Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Cell WallTough but flexible outside layer of a prokaryotic
cellHelps give prokaryotes structureCell Wall (yellow)
Plasma Membrane (Green)Plasma MembraneA flexible membrane that
sits below the cell wallSelectively permeableImportant in talking
with other cells
CytoplasmThe gel like fluid inside a cell Made up mostly of
waterImportant for the movement of molecules inside the
cellCytoplasm
Archaea First found living in extreme environmentsThermal vents,
and volcanic hot springs
Have now been found to live in many different environmentsIn the
ocean, soil, fresh water, and others
NucleoidThe Nucleoid is the region of DNA in a prokaryotic
cellIt is not surrounded by a membraneThe DNA is free floating in
the cytoplasm Nucleoid
FlagellaHelps the prokaryote to moveAlso helps the prokaryote to
sense temperatures and chemicals in its environment
Flagella
RibosomesMake proteins. Proteins are responsible for many
different jobs inside of cells.
