Correctly 2026-2027 Updated.
Robert Hooke - Answer Discovered and named cells
Antony von Leeuwenhoek - Answer Observed living cells
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have - Answer cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes,
genetic material
Prokaryotes - Answer DNA floating around
No Membrane bound organelles
circular chromosomes
are simple and small
Eukaryotes - Answer Have DNA in a nucleus
Linear Chromosomes
Some membrane bound organelles
larger than prokaryotes
Groups and types of cells - Answer Eukaryotic autotroph - Plants
Eukaryotic heterotroph - animals
Prokaryotic unicellular - protists
Cell Membrane - Answer the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
Found in both types of cells
Cytoskeleton - Answer The backbone of the cell- supports the cell shape, anchors the
organelles, provides highway system for cellular materials
Nucleus - Answer A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and
reproduction in Eukaryotic cells
, Phospholipid bilayer
Endoplasmic Reticulum - Answer A system of membranes that is found in a cell's cytoplasm
and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production
of lipids.
Ribosomes - Answer site of protein synthesis
attached to endoplasmic recticulum or free in cytoplasm
Golgi apparatus - Answer A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for
export by the cell
Mitochondria - Answer Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy)
production
Lysosomes - Answer cell organelle filled with digestive enzymes needed to break down certain
materials in the cell
plant cell wall - Answer strong, protective structure made from cellulose fibrils
Vacuoles - Answer Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials
Changes size depending on amount of water
Chloroplast - Answer An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
endosymbiotic theory - Answer theory that eukaryotic cells formed from a symbiosis among
several different prokaryotic organisms
Evidence:
Membrane Structures
Separate Genomes
Divide like bacteria within cells
simple diffusion - Answer movement of a solute from an area of high concentration to an area
of low concentration
