7516798402 | Nuclear Envelope | -surrounds genetic material -separates nucleus from the cytoplasm -double lipid bilayer regulates what goes into the cell -present in both animal and plant cells | 0 | |
7516798403 | Golgi Apparatus | -packaging organelle -located in the cytoplasm -takes in small molecules and forms more complex molecules -can either store the more complex molecules or release them -has two layers that surround an area of fluid that contains proteins, enzymes, and sugars -present in both animal and plant cells | 1 | |
7516798404 | Endoplasmic Reticulum | -network of membranous sacs and tubes -surrounds the nucleus in the cytoplasm -active in membrane synthesis and metabolic processes -has rough and smooth regions -has double membrane called cisternae where proteins are collected and synthesized -present in both animal and plant cells | 2 | |
7516798405 | Mitochondria | -cellular respiration -ATP is generated -double membrane increases surface area within the organelle to allow more chemical reactions to occur -located in cytoplasm -present in both animal and plant cells | 3 | |
7516798406 | Chloroplast | -produce food for plant cells -convert light energy from the sun into sugars -double membrane surrounds and protects inner chloroplasts -located in cytoplasm -only present in plant cells | 4 | |
7516798407 | Ribosome | -makes proteins -located in cytosol or endoplasmic reticulum -present in both animal and plant cells | 5 | |
7516798408 | Lysosome | -hold enzymes -digest food and break down dead cells -located in cytoplasm -present in both animal and plant cells | 6 | |
7516798409 | Vacuole | -storage -located in cytoplasm -present in both animal and plant cells | 7 | |
7516798410 | Cytoskeleton | -reinforces cell's shape -functions in cell movement -made of proteins -proteins attach to them for stability -located on the outside of the cell -present in both animal and plant cells | 8 | |
7516798411 | Cell Wall | -outer layer that maintains cell's shape and protects cell from mechanical damage -semi permeable -located on the outside of the cell membrane -only present in plant cells | 9 | |
7516798412 | Prokaryotic Cells | -no nucleus -circular DNA located in cytoplasm -single celled -no organelles -bacteria, archaea, and eubacteria -more basic -have cell membranes -have ribosomes | 10 | |
7516798413 | Eukaryotic Cells | -have nucleus -have linear DNA located in nucleus -have organelles -cells animals have -multicellular -more complex -cell membranes -ribosomes | 11 | |
7516798415 | Cell Membrane | -separates cell from aqueous environment and controls traffic in and out of the cell -collage of proteins and other molecules embedded in the fluid matrix of the lipid bilayer | 12 |

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!
