produce ATP and the function for the chloroplast is to get energy from sunlight. The correct answer was mitochondria because they are open and have string like structure in the inside to produce the ATP. F: The reason why I choose Golgi apparatus was because I mixed up this and the rough ER because they both have a very similar structure that got me confused. I learned how to tell the difference between both the Golgi apparatus and the Rough ER. I also learned that the unction of Rough ER is

Parts of a Cell There are two types of cells: Image 1 (Kaufman and Thompson) Prokaryotic Cell Image 2 (Kaufman and Thompson) Eukaryotic Cell A prokaryotic (pro- before; karyotic-nucleus or before the egg) cell does not have a true nucleus. A eukaryotic (eu- true; karyotic- nucleus) cell has a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Let’s start with the CELL MEMBRANE Image 3 (Hese) Pretend the cell is

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes cell Cell theory states that all organisms are made of one or more cells. There are two basis types of cell: prokaryotes, which do not contain a nucleus, and eukaryotes, which have a true nucleus. The difference between the structure and functioning of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is so great that it is considered, by some, to be the most important distinction among groups of organisms. However, if we are to believe the endosymbiosis theory and that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes

unicellular organisms, although a few such as myxobacteria have multicellular stages in their life cycles or create large colonies like cyanobacteria. Prokaryotes do not have a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria,or any other membrane bound organelles. In other words, all their intracellular water soluble components(proteins, DNA, and metabolites) are located together in the same volume enclosed by the cell membrane, rather than in separate cellular compartments. Prokaryotes include 2 major

Organelles are components of eukaryotic cells, which act as functional units. A simple eukaryotic cell comprises of many organelles such as the mitochondria, vacuole, or nucleus. These organelles are responsible for the preservation of the cells function and vitality. Each organelle is dutiful to a specific role essential to the cell, and thus the greater organism. However, which of these organelles is the greatest contributor to cell vitality is widely debatable. Fundamentally, there is one organelle

reveal organelles that are impossible to resolve with the light microscope. However, electron microscopes can only be used on dead cells. •Light microscopes do not have as high a resolution, but they can be used to study live cells. •Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) are used mainly to study the internal ultrastructure of cells. A TEM aims an electron beam through a thin section of the specimen. •Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) are useful for studying surface structures. The SEM

Living Cell A cell is the smallest structural unit of an organism that is capable of independent functioning. All cells start life with a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, and DNA. Cells vary in size and also in what job function they have. Cells are complex but highly organized. They contain a number of internal structures. A cell’s plasma membrane is the cell’s outer membrane. It separates the cell from the external area. The cell membrane surrounds the outside of both Eukaryotic and

Ribosome: * A tiny granule made up of RNA and proteins. * They are the site of protein synthesis therefore take part in such process. * They are freely floating structures that helps in transferring the genetic code. Plasmid: * Plasmids are small circle of DNA. * Bacterial cells have many plasmids. * Plasmids are
