PROKARYOTIC
CELL
Main Structure:
Ribosomes - are complexes made of ribosomal RNA and protein.
They are the cellular components that carry out protein synthesis.

Plasma Membrane – regulates the passage of materials into and out of


cell.

Cell Wall - clear, jelly-like stuff around the nucleus is called


cytoplasm that makes up the cell’s internal environment

Nucleus - large structure surrounded by double membrane; species cellular


proteins
Capsule - outer covering that protects the cell when it is engulfed
by other organisms, assists in retaining moisture, and helps the cell
adhere to surfaces and nutrients.
Cell Wall - present outside the plasma membrane. It provides
rigidity to the cell shape and structure and protects the cell from its
environment.
Pili (Pilus singular)- Hair-like structures on the surface of the cell that
attach to other bacterial cells. Shorter pili called fimbriae help bacteria
attach to surfaces.

Flagella - are long, whip-like protrusion that aids in cellular locomotion.

Plasmids - are gene carrying, circular DNA structures that are not
involved in reproduction.

Mesosomes or chondrioids - folded invaginations in the plasma membrane of bacteria


that are produced by the chemical fixation techniques used to prepare samples for electron
microscopy.
EUKARYOTIC
CELL
Lysosomes - membranous sacs; contains enzymes to digest
materials
Cytoskeleton - composed of microtubules, intermediate filaments and
microfilaments, that provides an inner framework for the cell and supports the
cells structure, anchors and helps transport organelles, and aids in cell division.

Mitochondria - tiny powerhouses of the cell, and a double-membrane


bound organelles that extract energy from food to
produce ATP (adesnosine-5’- triphosphate), a multi-purpose molecule
that carries energy for use within the cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum - network of internal membranes; site of


membrane lipid & protein synthesis
Plastid - any of a class of small organelles, such as chloroplasts, in the
cytoplasm of plant cells, containing pigment or food.
Golgi Apparatus - Stacks of flattened membrane sacs; modifies, packages &
secretes proteins
Nucleolus - prominent structure within the nondividing nucleus. Here a type of
RNA called ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized from instructions in the DNA.
Also in the nucleolus, proteins imported from the cytoplasm are assembled with
rRNA into large and small subunits of ribosomes.

Peroxisomes- membrane-bounded vesicles that enclose enzymes. The enzymes


in peroxisomes are synthesized by free ribosomes and transported into a
peroxisome from the cytoplasm. They are prevalent in cells that are
synthesizing and breaking down lipids.

Cytosol - the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which


various organelles and particles are suspended.
Nuclear pore -a large complex of proteins that allows small
molecules and ions to freely pass, or diffuse, into or out of
the nucleus.
Other Structure that are not in Animals
Cell:

Vacoules - are membranous sacs. They store substances.

Chloroplasts - use solar energy to sythesize carbohydrates. They are


bounded by a double membrane, which includes an outer
membrane and inner membrane.

Leucoplast- a colorless organelle found in plant cells, used for the


storage of starch or oil.
