1. What is a cell?
Basic functioning unit in unicellular and multicellular organisms

2. Two types of Cells: Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells
Both types of cells are surrounded by a cell membrane and contain DNA, or genetic material
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
cell membrane
nucleus
organelles
cytoplasm

3. Types of Eukaryotic Cells
Animal Cells
Plant Cells

4. Animal Cell No cell wall No chloroplasts No large central vacuole
Centrioles present

5. Plant Cell Cell wall present Chloroplasts present
Large central vacuole
No centrioles

6. What is an organelle?
Internal membrane bound structures contained in eukaryotic cells
Specialized structures that perform important cellular functions

7. The Nucleus Function: Stores genetic information
Contains DNA, chromatin, and the nucleolus.
The nucleolus is the site of ribosome production
Control center of
the cell
Structure:
Double membrane
Contains small openings
Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes(DNA)
