TYPES OF CELL ORGANE

The different types of cell organelles

TermDefinition
Prokaryotes cells that are less complex with no true nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Organisms within the domain bacteria and archaea have a single prokaryotic cell.
Eukaryotes Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and are found in organisms such as animals, plants, fungi and protozoa.
Organelles (make up the subunits of a cell) a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell. There are numerous each with their own function.
Cell membrane A large oval-shaped structure around the cell (outermost barrier of the cell). It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Nucleus  Coordinates all the activities of the cell & directs cell activity. Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane. Contains genetic material DNA.
Nuclear envelope Membrane enclosing the nucleus. Protein-lined pores allow material to move in and out.
Cytoplasm Fluid material where activities of the cell occur. The jelly-like substance also help hold the rest of the organelles in place (provides structure)
Nucleolus Condensed region where ribosomes are formed/produced.
Ribosomes sites of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm and on the ER.
Mitochondrion Site of cellular respiration. Mitochondria produces energy in the form of molecules through the process of cellular respiration. (power house of the cell)
Golgi apparatus System of flattened membranes that process, package and store substances before their release.
Endoplasmic reticulum Intracellular and intercellular transport system. Consists of flattened interconnected membranes it provides a pathway between the nucleus and the cell’s environment.
Vacuole Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal. Contains water solution.
Lysosomes special organelles found within the cytoplasm of animal cells. Contains digestive enzymes, instead of wasting raw material the cell recycles and reuses. It is known as the garbage disposal system of the cell.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
