Prokaryotic cells:
Eurkaryotic cells:
are larger and more complex
have a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear
membrane.
are found in higher life forms such as plant
cells and animal cells.
NUCLEUS
CYTOPLASM
RIBOSOMES
GOLGI BODIES
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Network of membranous canals that
are continuous with nuclear envelope.
Serves as passageway for substances
between the cytoplasm and the
nucleus.
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
Devoid of ribosomes.
Lipid synthesis, carbohydrate
metabolism, and helps in
detoxification of drug and poison.
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
Studded with attached ribosomes.
Synthesis of protein.
LYSOSOMES
LYSOSOMES
Encloses strong hydrolitic enzymes that can
break down all large macromolecules.
Helps in digesting bacteria and other foreign
substances taken in by phagocytic cells
Engulfs another organelle specially the damage
one.
VACUOLES
VACUOLES
Fluid- filled cavities that are
sorrounded by membranes.
Named according to the specific
functions they play within the cells.
MITOCHONDRIA
MITOCHONDRIA
Converts the potential energy of food
molecules into molecules.
Powerhouse of the cell.
CHLOROPLAST
CHLOROPLAST
Contains the green pigment chlrophyll
that that captures light energy from
the sun and converts it into chemical
energy through the process of
photosynthesis.
PEROXISOMES
PEROXISOMES
Hydrolysis of fatty acids into simple
units.
Contains enzymes that can detoxify
alcohol and other harmful substances
and convert poisonous peroxides to
water.
CYTOSKELETON
CYTOSKELETON
Network of filaments that extend in entire
region of the cytoplasm.
Give support and maintain the structure and
shape of the cell.
Microfilaments, intermediate filaments,
microtubles.
