Two Types of Cells

Cells:
The Basic Units of Life

All cells, whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have

some common features

Organelles
The Cell Theory
Organelles are structures that enable
1. All organisms are made of cells. the cell to live, grow and reproduce.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life in all
living things.
3. All cells come from existing cells.

THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT

ALL LIVING THINGS SHARE A SIMILAR
STRUCTURE
 Two Types of Cells Organelles
Prokaryotic Cells:
• Have no membrane
covered nucleus Organelles are structures that enable
• Have no membrane the cell to live, grow and reproduce.
- covered organelles
• Have circular DNA
• Are bacteria

Two Types of Cells Cell Membrane

Eukaryotic Cells:
• Have a nucleus • Outer layer of cell
• Have a membrane - • Allows nutrients
covered organelles
into the cell and
• Have linear DNA wastes outside of
• Are all other cells the cell

“Gate into the

city” Cell Membrane
 Cytoplasm Mitochondria
Outer Membrane

• Cytoplasm a • Power center of

jelly-like fluid cell
contained in • Provides the
the cell that energy the cell
holds the needs to move,
organelles. divide, etc.
Inner Membrane

“Electric company of
the cell”

The Nucleus Ribosomes

DNA • The control
center of the • Site where
cell proteins are
• Contains the made
Cell’s DNA
Nucleolus • Cell parts are
made of
proteins
Nuclear Membrane
“Mayor’s office” “Factories of the
cell”
Endoplasmic Reticulum Lysosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Digests food
• Transportation particles and cell
system of cell parts
• Rough ER- – “Garbage men”
ribosome's • Protects cell by
attached digesting foreign
• Smooth ER- no invaders
Ribosomes ribosome's – “Police men

“Roadways of the cell”

Golgi Complex
Vacuole
• Packaging house of
cell • Stores water,
• Packages,
Vacuole
food & wastes
processes, and
ships out the
stuff the cell
makes

“UPS of the cell”

Vacuole is largest
organelle in plant

 Cell Wall
Plant or Animal Cell?
Found in Plant and Animal cells: Found only in Plant Cells:

• Nucleus • Chloroplasts
• Golgi Complex
• Mitochondrion • Cell Wall
• Found only in • Lyosomes
plant cells • Endoplasmic
Reticulum
• Cell Membrane
• Protects and • Ribosomes
supports the cell • Vacuoles

Chloroplasts
• Found only in plant
cells
• Contains
chlorophyll (makes
plants green)
• Where
photosynthesis
takes place
