Prokaryotes versus Eukaryotes

California Standard: Cell Biology 1. c
Cell Biology: The fundamental life processes of plants and animals depend on a variety of chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of the organism?s cells. As a basis for understanding this concept:
c. Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from plants and animals), and viruses (next semester) differ in a complexity and general structure.

PURPOSE:
? To understand the cellular composition of life.
? To understand the two categories of cell types: prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
? To be able to differentiate between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
? To be able to draw and label the parts of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

There are two categories of cells: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Prokaryotic organisms are unicellular and believe to be the first form of life on this planet. These cells are very simple. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells and the most abundant form of life on this planet. Yet, they are microscopic.

1. Click the link below and watch the video.

Eukaryotic organisms can be unicellular or multicellular. These cells are much more complex and more modern than prokaryotes. If you can see it with the naked eye, it is made up of eukaryotic cells: YOU, plants, all animal forms, and fungi are made up of eukaryotic cells.

1. Watch the video on eukaryotic cells.

2. Click on the links below and fill out the Venn diagram. Write down characteristics that only Prokaryotic cells have, characteristics that only Eukaryotic cells have, and characteristics that both types of cells have in common. You can also check your textbook.
3. Draw and label the following parts of a Prokaryotic cell. Be neat.
a. Capsule, cell wall, cytoplasm, cell or plasma membrane, pili, flagella, ribosomes, nucleoid region, plasmids
4. Give the definitions of the 9 parts in question 2 a. Follow the example below.
1. Capsule:

2. Cell wall:

3. Etc?

- Prokaryotic Cells Vs. Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryote is a cell or an organism that lacks a nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles and most of their DNA is a single circular molecule. All bacteria are prokaryotic cells. The word "prokaryote" means "before the nucleus"...
