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).
