Molecular Biology

organisms whose cells have a distinct nucleus and organelles

• prokaryotes

• eukaryotes

• chloroplasts

• mitochondria

organism whose cells lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

• prokaryotes

• eukaryotes

• chloroplasts

• mitochondria

fluid that fills most of the space in the cell

• cell membrane

• chloroplasts

• cytoplasm

• chromosomes

large structure in the cell that controls many functions in the cell

• vacuoles

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• mitochondria

Genetic material inside a cell

• chromosomes

• ribosomes

• vacuoles

• eukaryotes

thin, flexible outer layer that holds the cell together and controls what comes in an out of the cell

• nutrients

• toxic

• cytoplasm

• cell membrane

organelle that makes proteins

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

power plants of the cell; take in fuel and turn it into something the cell can use for energy

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• photosynthesis

• cell membrane

store materials inside the cell

• mitochondria

• digestive system

• vacuoles

• cytoplasm

make food for the cell; plants only

• cellular respiration

• chloroplasts

• photosynthesis

• digestive system
