Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane.
1 of 11
Prokariyotic cell
Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not have a true nucleus or most other cell organelles.
2 of 11
Cell wall
A cell wall is an outer layer surrounding certain cells that is outside of the cell membrane.
3 of 11
Cell membrane
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment.
4 of 11
Nucleus
The cell nucleus is a large organelle in eukaryotic organisms which protects the majority of the DNA within each cell. The nucleus also produces the necessary precursors for protein synthesis.
5 of 11
Mitochondria
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are organelles within eukaryotic cells that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule used by the cell.
6 of 11
Chloroplast
The chloroplast, found only in algal and plant cells, is a cell organelle that produces energy through photosynthesis.
7 of 11
Nucleolus
A small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase
8 of 11
Vacuole
A space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
9 of 11
Ribosomes
A ribosome is a complex cellular mechanism used to translate genetic code into chains of amino acids. Long chains of amino acids fold and function as proteins in cells.
10 of 11
Chromosome
A chromosome is a string of DNA wrapped around associated proteins that give the connected nucleic acid bases a structure.
