AS Biology - Cell Structure - Cells & Organelles

Prokaryotic organisms ---------> Prokaryotic cells - single-celled organisms

Eukaryotic organisms --------> Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells - complex and include animal and plant cells

Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler e.g. bacteria

Both types of cell contain organelles - parts of cells with each one having a specific function

Animal cells:

• Cell membrane
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum
• Nucleolus
• Nucleus
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• Lysosome
• Ribosome
• Nuclear envelope
• Golgi apparatus
• Cytoplasm
• Mitochondrion

An in depth and more detailed definition for each of the above cells can be found in the next set of revision cards (AS Biology - Cell Structure - Different Organelles & Functions).

Plant cells:

• Cell membrane
• Chloroplast
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum
• Plasmodesmata
• Mitochondrion
• Golgi apparatus
• Vacuole
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• Cytoplasm
• Nucleolus
• Nucleus
• Ribosomes
• Cell wall

An in depth and more detailed definition for each of the above cells can be found in the next set of revision cards (AS Biology - Cell Structure - Different Organelles & Functions).
