Cell Structures

Cell Structures and Functions

Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles.​

​

Eukaryotes do have these organelles.​

​Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes

​

Prokaryotes have and flagella have to aid in movement.​

​Prokaryote Structures

​

​Key structures in both animal and plant cells include nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, golgi bodies, and endoplasmic reticulum.

​​

​

​Eukaryotic Structures

​

The nucleus is the "brain" of the cell.

​

It contains all the DNA for the cell.​

​

​Nucleus

​

They are the power house of the cell.

​

Provide energy through Cellular Respiration.

​​

​Mitochondria

​

Consisting of Rough ER and Smooth ER

​

Makes and sends proteins throughout the inside of the cell.​

​

Folds increase efficiency in protein production​

​Endoplasmic Reticulum

​

Free floating organelles receive and export proteins outside of the cell.​

​

​Golgi Bodies/

Apparatus

​

Plant Cell Organelles

​Provides structure and rigidity for the cell.

​

Prevents cell from bursting​

​

​

​Cell Wall

​

Conduct photosynthesis

​

Full of chlorophyll- green pigment that allows for photosynthesis​

​

​Chloroplasts

​

Stores Water and nutrients for the cell.

​

Keeps constant pressure against cell wall​

​

Central Vacuole​

​

​Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide and produces glucose and oxygen.

​

Cellular Respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide​

​

​

​

​Photosynthesis vs Cellular Respiration

​

Multiple Choice

What are the reactants of photosythesis?

• Carbon Dioxide and Glucose

• Oxygen and Glucose

• Water and Oxygen

• Carbon Dioxide and Water

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the proper formula for cellular respiration?

• Carbon dioxide and water create glucose and oxygen

• Oxygen and glucose create carbon dioxide and water

• Carbon dioxide and glucose create water and oxygen

• Oxygen and water create glucose and carbon dioxide

Multiple Choice

If a common house plant is put into a dark room for a long period of time, which of the following is most likely to happen?

• Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration will continue like normal

• Cellular respiration will stop but photosynthesis will continue like normal

• Photosynthesis will stop but cellular respiration will continue like normal

• Both will stop in the absence of light
