Eukaryotic Cells
More complex
Have genetic information
Have a nucleus - Entire genetic information
Organelles include
Ribosomes - Protein synthesis
Membrane - Controls what goes out of the cell and in the cell
Cytoplasm - Chemical reactions take place here
Mitochondria - Powerhouse of the cell. Aerobic respiration happens here.
Plant Cells have all the above, but include more:
Cell wall - Keeps cell rigid
Vacuole - Sugars and Salts
Chloroplast - Photosynthesis
Prokaryotic Cells
Smaller and simpler
Have genetic information
Genetic information stored as one long chromosome
Plasmid - Small loops of extra DNA. Modify the cell. Not in all Prokaryotic Cells.
Do not have a nucleus
