Document Summary
Word roots: chloro- = green cyto- = cell. Ell = small endo- = inner eu- = true extra- = outside lyso- = loosen micro- = small nucle- = nucleus. Oid = like phago- = to eat pro- = before karyo- = nucleus pseudo- = false. Golgi apparatus: an organelle in eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of flat membranous sacs that modify, store, and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum. granum: (plural, grana) a stacked portion of the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast. Prokaryotic: bacteria, archaea domains: smaller, simpler than eukaryotic, lack membrane bound organelles including nucleus (have dna in concentrated nucleoid region instead) Eukaryotic: eukarya domain: animal, plant, fungi, protist kingdoms, larger and more complex than prokaryotic, have many specialized membrane bound organelles including membrane bound nucleus. Function: selective barrier that controls what can enter and leave cell, contains cytoplasm, defines cell as separate from environment.
