Cells

Are eukaryotic cells smaller or larger than prokaryotic?

Larger

In eukaryotic cells, multiple liner chromosomes are generally in the form of

liner strands of chromatin

Function of Central Vacuole

maintaining turgor pressure for the cell and also stores some pigments and waste materials.

ribosomes

make proteins

Prokaryotic cells are characterized by having

no nucleus, DNA in unbound region called the nucleoid, no membrane bound organelles, and cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane.

Where is the cell wall located in eukaryotic cells?

outside the cell membrane

What characteristics do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have in common?

plasma membrane, cytosol, chromosomes, and ribosomes.

plasma membrane

selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste to service the volume of every cell

Describe a cell wall

slightly elastic cellulose

Are eukaryotic cells structurally more complex or structurally quite simple?

structurally more complex

chromosomes

carry genes

Prokaryotic cells cytoplasm is bounded by a

cell membrane

Plant cells contain

cell wall, central vacuole, and plastids

Leucoplasts

colorless plastids used for the storage of starch

Chloroplast

contain chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis

Where do plastids occur in some plant cells?

cytoplasm

Central Vacuole

Fluid call cell sap

Domains of Prokaryotic Cells

Bacteria and Archaea

Bacterial cells generally have a cell wall composed of the

Carbohydrate Peptidoglycan

Most important Chromoplasts

Chloroplast

Eukaryotic cells are characterized by having

DNA in a nucleus that is bounded by a membranous nuclear envelope, Membrane bound organelles, Cytoplasm in the region between the plasma membrane and nucleus, and Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells

3 examples of Membrane Bound Organelles in Eukaryotic Cells are

Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum.

Are there membrane bound organelles in prokaryotic cells?

No

Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?

No

What organelles are present in some plant cells?

Plastids

Two principle types of cell structures

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic

Are prokaryotic cells larger or smaller than eukaryotic cells?

Smaller

Are prokaryotic cells structurally quite simple or structurally complex?

Structurally quite simple

cytosol

The main component of cytosol is water that assists chemical reactions within the cell.

Do eukaryotic cells have a cell wall?

Yes

Chromoplasts

are plastids which are colored due to the presence of pigments

In eukaryotic cells, in addition to the cell membrane

there are numerous internal membranes that compartmentalize the cell and form organelles.
