word bank
endomembrane system
cytoskeleton
mitochondria
nucleus
cytoplasm
flagella
cilia
ribosomes
chloroplasts
membrane
nucleoid
organelles
cell membrane

Endomembrane system -- not in prokaryotes
cytoskeleton -- a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes
mitochondria -- not in prokaryotes 
nucleus -- if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes
cytoplasm -- this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane
flagella -- little "tail" for locomotion, so no
cilia -- similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion 
ribosomes -- these make protein using amino acids
chloroplasts -- not in prokaryotes
membrane -- just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle
organelles -- general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions
cell membrane -- just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located
nucleoid --- ding ding ding :-) this is it; a nucleoid is the genetic material which is loosely existing in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell

Cell division is important to single celled organisms because it allows the cells to reproduce. through cell division, cells make exact copies of themselves. when single celled organisms go through cell division, they make exact copies of themselves which is how they reproduce.
