Found in single celled organisms, plants, and animals

Prokaryotes- cells that do not contain nuclei

Found in bacteria

Major Parts of a Cell

1. Nucleus- control center of the cell
2. Chromosomes- plans or blueprints of the cell. Found in nucleus
3. Nucleolus- where ribosomes are mode. Found in nucleus
4. Nuclear Envelope- surrounds and protects the nucleus
5. Cytoplasm- fluid that holds organelles. Found outside nucleus
6. Ribosomes- make proteins
7. Endoplasmic Reticulum- process and transport proteins
8. Golgi Apparatus- package and ship proteins
9. Lysosomes- cleanup crew
10. Cytoskeleton- supportive frame work & transport system

• Microtubules- make up cilia and flagella....used to move cell
• Microfilaments

11. Vacuoles- storage of materials
12. Mitochondrion- produces energy from chemicals for the cell
13. Chloroplast- produces energy from the sun for the cell
