Essential Features Common to all cells
- Plasma membrane
- Region containing DNA
- Cystosol
Flagella
Used to to help cell swim also sensory organelle sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside of cell. (Prokaryotic)
Fimbriae
Used for attachment to different surfaces. (Prokaryotic)
Nucleiod
region where cell's DNA is located. (Prokaryotic)
Electron Microscope
Focus on beam of electrons through the specimen or onto its surface.
Ribosomes
complexes that synthesizes proteins (series of chemical reactions)
Plasma Membrane
enclosing the cytoplasm, acts as a selective barrier that allows passage of enough oxygen, nutrients, and waste to service the entire cell.
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like fluid that fills up the cell. made up of mostly salt and water. holds all of the cells internal parts together.
Capsule
Jelly-like outer coating of many prokaryotes. protects cell from engulfment.
Chromosomes
carries genes in the form of DNA.
Prokaryotic Cell
Lacking a true nucleus and the other membrane- enclosed organelles of the eukaryotic cell.
Nucleus
Contains most of the genes in the eukaryotic cell.
Some genes are located in _______ and _______.
Mitochondria and chloroplast.
Not in all animal cells:
Chloroplast
Cell wall
Central Vacuole
Plasmodesmata
Tonoplast
Nuclear lamina
Protein network that underlies in the evolope (makes the nucleus tough).
