Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

The rigid protective and supportive outer layer in all plant cells, bacteria, and fungus. They are

not found in any animal cells.

A cell wall is like shoes because shoes protect your feet, just like a cell wall protects everything inside the cell

Cell Wall

CytoplasmThe environment of a cell. The area where the insides

Of a cell exist and float.

A cytoplasm is like a float in a pool because the water is the environment in which the float lives,

just like a cytoplasm is the environment where the cell lives.

EubacteriaA large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls.

Escherichia coli Lactococcus lactis – cheese

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gomphosphaeria

DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid)

A very long and complex structure that holds all of anorganism’s genetic material. DNA is what decides your

traits and characteristics.

DNA is like an architect because anarchitect designs buildings, just like DNA designs

the characteristics of you.

RibosomesThe site of protein creation within a cell.

A ribosome is like a farmer because a farmer a farmercreates crops, just like ribosomes create products for the

cell.

Cell MembraneThe protective layer of a cell. It controls things entering

and leaving the cell. It is flexible.

A cell membrane is like a pencil box because a pencil boxprotects the pencils, just like the cell membrane protects,

everything inside the cell.

Archaebacteriaunicellular organisms that are prokaryotic but that differ in certain physiological and genetic features from bacteria,

the most prominent prokaryotes.

Found in hot boiling water halomonas sp

Found in hot springsThermophilic Archaebacteria

NucleusThe area of the cell that contains the genetic material

(DNA). It contains all the functions and activities of the cell.

A nucleus is like a referee because a referee controlsThe game, just like a nucleus controls all the functions

In the cell.

MitochondriaThe organelle that provides usable energy for the cell

using raw materials. Mitochondria is like a cell phone charger because a

phone charger gives out the energy to make the phone work, just like the mitochondria gives the energy to the rest of the cell.

ChloroplastsThe organelles are responsible for converting the energyObtained by the chlorophyll molecule into the usable form

of glucose (sugar).A chloroplast is like a car motor because a car motorgives the car energy to work, just like chloroplasts

converts energy for the cell.Chlorophyll - Any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms.

Photosynthesis ina chloroplasts

VacuoleThe storage compartment of a cell. The vacuole can

store food, water, or waste, until it is needed. A vacuole is like a locker because it stores all your school

supplies until you need them, just like a vacuole stores food, water, and waste, until it is needed.

Golgi BodyThe area of a cell that packages cell products and ships

them out of the cell to where they are needed. A golgi body is like the internet because the internet sends

emails, just like a golgi body sends “packages” to whereit’s needed in the cell.
