These cells are single celled organisms. They are simple structures and do not have a nucleus or any membrane bound organelles
1 of 8
Eukaryotic
These cells make up mulit-cellular organisms such as plants and animals. They are complex cells with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
2 of 8
membrane bound organelles
Organelles surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. For example, lysosome and golgi apparatus.
3 of 8
Cell wall
Structure: Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Function: Protects and supports each cell.
4 of 8
Capsule
Structure: Slippery layer outside the cell wall of some species of bacteria. Function: Protects the cell and prevents dessication.
5 of 8
Ribosomes
Structure: Smaller than ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. They consist of two sub-units and they are not surrounded by a membrane. Function: Protein synthesis occurs at these ribosomes.
6 of 8
Nucleoid
Structure: Irregularly shaped region that holds nuclear material without a nuclear membrane. The DNA forms one circular chromosome. Function: The nucleoid is the region where genetic information can be found and controls cellular activity.
7 of 8
Plasmid
Structure: Small loops of DNA. Function: Plasmids carry genes that may benefit the survival of the organism.
