Cells
The "cell" is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms.
The cell contains different kinds of organelles.
There are two different kinds of cells:
-Prokaryotic cells: A type of cell which has its DNA concentrated at the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a membrane.
-Eukaryotic cells: A type of cell which has a true nucleous and many organelles.
The Cell contains (Plant & Animal organelles listed):
-Nucleous: "Blue print" of the cell.
-Cell wall: Outer layer that maintains the cell's sha[e and protects cell from mechanical damage, made of cellulose, other polysaccharides, and protein.
-Cytoplasm: The entire space between the nucleous and the plasma membrane.
-Microvilli: Projections that increase the cell's surface area.
-Mitochondria: Organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is produced. "Power houses."
-Lysosomes: Digestive organnelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed.
-Golgi Apparatus: Orangelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting and secretion of cell products.
-Ribosomes: Nonmembranous organelles that make proteins, free in cytp[;as, pr bpimd tp rough ER nucelar evelope.
-Endoplasmic Reticulum: Network of membranous sacs and tubes, active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic processes, has rough (ribosome studded) and smooth regions.
-Chloroplast: Photosynthetic organnelle, converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules.
-Vacuoles: Store nutrients, water, and sometimes food.
