Cell Organelles

The document summarizes the key organelles found in animal and plant cells and their functions. It describes organelles common to both cell types like the nucleus, which contains DNA and controls the cell, and mitochondria, which generate energy. It also distinguishes organelles unique to each cell type, noting plants have a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and plasmodesmata for cell-to-cell transport, while animals have a centrosome that organizes microtubules. The document concludes by briefly introducing prokaryotes and bacteria.

TYPES OF PROKARYOTES

TREE OF LIFE ILLUSTRATING THE THREE-


DOMAIN CLASSIFICATION OF LIFE FORM BACTERIA are microscopic, single-celled
organisms that belong to Domain Eubacteria
(true bacteria). Their cells lack a nucleus and
other subcellular compartments such as
mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi
bodies. Their DNA is found in the cytoplasm
(nucleoid region) rather than inside a nucleus.

ARCHAEA belong to the Domain Archaea.


They are unicellular microorganisms that are
genetically distinct from bacteria and
eukaryotes. Similar to prokaryotes, they lack a
nucleus and other organelles. However, the
genes of archaebacterial are more similar to
eukaryotes.

CYANOBACTERIA, also called blue-green


algae, are microorganisms that are formerly
considered protists for being single-celled and
photosynthetic. However, they now belong to a
PROKARYOTES group or phylum of photosynthetic bacteria that
inhabit aquatic habitats and moist soils
Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and
other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into
two distinct groups: the bacteria and the
archaea, which scientists believe have unique
evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are
small, single-celled organisms that have a
relatively simple structure.
EUKARYOTES

Any cell or organism that possesses a clearly


defined nucleus. The eukaryotic cell has a
nuclear membrane that surrounds the nucleus,
in which the well-defined chromosomes (bodies
containing the hereditary material) are located.
Eukaryotic cells also contain organelles,
including mitochondria (cellular energy
exchangers), a Golgi apparatus (secretory
device), an endoplasmic reticulum (a canal-like
system of membranes within the cell), and
lysosomes (digestive apparatus within many cell
types). There are several exceptions to this,
however; for example, the absence of
mitochondria and a nucleus in red blood cells
and the lack of mitochondria in the oxymonad
Monocercomonoides species.

PROTIST

A protist or
protoctist is any
eukaryotic organism
that is not an
animal, plant, or
fungus. protists do
not form a natural group, or clade, but an
artificial grouping of several independent clades
that evolved from the last eukaryotic common
ancestor.

FUNGI/FUNGUS

is any member of the


group of eukaryotic
organisms that includes
microorganisms such as
yeasts and molds, as well
as the more familiar
mushrooms.

PLANTS

Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom


Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.
This means that they obtain their energy from
sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from
endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce
sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the
green pigment chlorophyll.

ANIMALS

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms


in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few
exceptions, animals consume organic material,
breathe oxygen, have myocytes and are able to
move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a
hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during
embryonic development.
