Mo3-L3b: The Types of Cells and the Function of their Structures

The Types of Cells and the
Mo3-L3b Functions of Their Structures The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is not
surrounded by a membrane.
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells
similar, and how are they different?
2. What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Vocabulary A-Z

Let us learn some vocabulary
Bacteria Cell Anatomy
Organelle
membrane-surrounded component of eukaryotic cell
with a specialized
function.
Plants, animals, fungi, and protists are all made of
eukaryotic cells and are called eukaryotes.

In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is surrounded
by a membrane.
Plant Cell Animal Cell

Chloroplast
a membrane-bound organelle that uses light energy
and makes food, a sugar called glucose, from water
and carbon dioxide in a process known as
photosynthesis.
Inner Membrane Outer Membrane

Stroma

Granum
Thylakoid
Let’s Begin Every eukaryotic cell has membrane-surrounded
organelles, which have specialized functions and
enable the cell to carry out different functions at the
Cell Types same time.

With more advanced microscopes, scientists discovered
that all cells can be grouped into two types:
1. prokaryotic cells
2. eukaryotic cells
Most prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms
called prokaryotes.
