10421301854 | Eukaryotic cells (eykaryotes) | Cells containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. All cell types other than bacteria. | 0 | |
10421301855 | Prokaryotic Cells | - cells lack a nucleus and all other membrane based organelles. Ex: bacteria | 1 | |
10421301856 | Nucleus | A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA. | ![]() | 2 |
10421301857 | Nucleolus | Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes | ![]() | 3 |
10421301858 | Smooth ER | Is ER that does not have ribosomes attached. It is a major site of lipid synthesis. | ![]() | 4 |
10421301859 | Rough ER | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes. Makes proteins | ![]() | 5 |
10421301860 | Golgi body | organelles that package cellular materials and transport them within the cell or out of the cell | ![]() | 6 |
10421301861 | Ribosomes | Site of protein synthesis. May be bound to the Rough ER or free in the cell. | ![]() | 7 |
10421301862 | Lysosomes | An organelle containing digestive enzymes used to break down food and worn out cell parts | ![]() | 8 |
10421301863 | vacuole | Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates | ![]() | 9 |
10421301864 | Chloroplast | An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs, contains its own DNA | ![]() | 10 |
10421301865 | mitochondria | Enclosed by two membranes with the inner membrane folded; contains its own DNA Site of ATP synthesis via Cellular Respiration | ![]() | 11 |
10421301866 | Endosymbiotic theory | A theorized process in which early eukaryotic cells were formed from simpler prokaryotes by engufing them. It is hypothesized that the mitochondria and chloroplast were initially free- living bacterial cells that were engulfed by a larger, eukaryotic cell. | ![]() | 12 |
10421301867 | Evidence for the endosymbiotic theory | Chloroplast and bacteria each have a double Membrane, Same size as bacteria, contain own DNA, Divide and reproduce on their own | 13 | |
10421301868 | Endomembrane system- definition | System of organelles connected by their similar phospholipid bilayers regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell. Builds & modifies proteins, packages them into vesicles, and sends them in the cell where they need to go (in a vesicle, bound in the membrane, exports out of the cell) | 14 | |
10421301869 | Endomembrane system- pathway | Ribosome bound to Rough ER (builds protien), Rough ER (modifies protein), Golgi (packages protein), vesicle containing protein either 1) remains in vesicle, 2) merges with the membrane to build more membrane, or 3) exports the contents outside the cell | ![]() | 15 |
10421301870 | centrioles | Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only | ![]() | 16 |
10421301871 | Surface area to volume ratio | a variable that decreases as cells grow, so that it sets a limit to the size of cells. | ![]() | 17 |
10421301872 | What kind of SA:Vol ratio is preferable to a cell? What are some ways this is accomplished? | Cells require a large SA:Vol Ratio. Keeping cells small, cells with fingerlike projections increase SA. | 18 | |
10421301873 | Cytoskeleton | A network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps support the cell. Acts as "tracks" on which things can move around the cell. | ![]() | 19 |
10421301874 | Cell Wall | A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. | ![]() | 20 |
10421301875 | What organelles are specific to a plant cell? | Cell Wall, Large central Vacuole, chloroplast | 21 | |
10421301876 | Cell Membrane | the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell, regulates what can enter and exit the cell. | ![]() | 22 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
