Prokaryotic Cell | Cell that lacks a membrane enclosed nucleus and organelles |
Prokaryotic Cell | Found only in Bacteria and Archaea Domains |
Eukaryotic Cell | Cell that has a membrane enclosed nucleus and organelles |
Eukaryotic Cell | All organisms are composed of this cell except for Bacteria and Archaea |
Chromosome | A threadlike, gene carrying structure found in the nucleus of a Eukaryotic cell and also the main gene-carrying structure of a Prokaryotic cell |
Chromatin | Combination of DNA and protein that constitutes the Eukaryotic cell |
Ribosome | Makes protein |
Cytoplasm | Consists of a semifluid medium and organelles. Content between the cell membrane and nucleus in Eukaryotic cell, interior of a Prokaryotic cell |
Nucleoid | Dense region of DNA in a Prokaryotic cell |
Flagella | Long cellular appendage speciallized for locomotion |
Organelle | A membrane enclosed structure with a specialized function within a cell AKA "Little organs" |
Cellular Metabolism | All the chemical activities of a cell |
Nucleus | Genetic control center of a Eukaryotic cell |
Nuclear Envelope | A double membrane that encloses the nucleus perforated with pores that regulate traffic with the cytoplasm |
Nucleolus | A structure within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA is made and assembled with proteins from the cytoplasm to make ribosomal subunits |
Endomembrane system | Network of membranes inside and around a Eukaryotic cell, related either through direct physical contact or by the transfer of membraneous vesicles |
Vesicle | A sac made of membrane in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell |
