- 1Nucleuscontains the DNA
has a double-membrane
plants and animals
eukaryotes - 2NucleolusMakes ribosomes

Pro and Eukaryotes - 5Cell membraneMade of phospholipids
regulate what comes in and out of cell
Plants and Animals
Pro and Eukaryotes - 6Cell Wallprotective outer structure
cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi

site of cellular respiration
Plants and animals
Eukaryotes - 8Endoplasmic Reticuluminternal membranes (look like coral)
compartmentalize the cell
Smooth ER: Lipid synthesis
Rough ER: protein synthesis (ribosomes)
