Unlike a eukaryotic cell, a prokaryotic cell does not have

• DNA

• Nucleus

• Cell Membrane

Specialized structures that work together inside a cell are called

• Organelles

• Nuclei

• DNA

This organelle carries out photosynthesis; it's like a solar panel

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

This organelle makes proteins for the cell; it's like a construction site

• Cell membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

This organelle provides power to the cell; like an electrical circuit box

• Lysosomes

• Mitochondria

• Transport Vesicles

This organelle is the part of the cell that controls and gives directions to other organelles; it's like the mayor

• Transport Vesicles

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

This part of the cell controls what comes in and out of the cell; it's like a fence around a house

• Cell Membrane

• Golgi Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum
