Question Answer
Nucleus contains the DNA has a double-membrane plants and animals eukaryotes
Nucleolus Makes ribosomes Dark area inside nucleus Plants and Animals Eukaryotes
Chromosomes Rod shaped and made up of DNA Code for genetic traits Plants and Animals Pro and Eukaryotes
Cytoplasma Water-based internal fluid Plants and Animals Pro and Eukaryotes
Cell membrane Made of phospholipids regulate what comes in and out of cell Plants and Animals Pro and Eukaryotes
Cell Wall protective outer structure cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi Plants only All prokaryotes, some eukaryotes
Mitochondria Double membraned, ovular structure site of cellular respiration Plants and animals Eukaryotes
Endoplasmic Reticulum internal membranes (look like coral) compartmentalize the cell Smooth ER: Lipid synthesis Rough ER: protein synthesis (ribosomes) Plants and Animals Eukaryotes
Vacuoles Membrane bound sacs Internal storage Plants and Animals Eukaryotes
Ribosomes makes proteins tiny spheres of RNA Plants and Animals Pro and Eukaryotes
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll site of photosynthesis double outer membrane plants only eukaryotes
Golgi bodies flattened sacks proteins go to be modified and sent out of cell plants and animals eukaryotes
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes membrane bound spheres plants and animals eukaryotes
Cytoskelton internal skeleton made of protein fibers and tubes that give shape sometimes help with movement plants and animals pro and eukaryotes
