Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

2. Essential Question – Bell Ringer
If two different cells each contain DNA, how can one cell be classified as prokaryotic and the other eukaryotic?
In prokaryotic cells, the DNA floats freely inside the cell, whereas in eukaryotic cells, the DNA is bound by a membrane

9. Characteristics of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Cells
Both Cells
Eukaryotic Cells
Some organisms of this cell type produce endospores during extreme conditions.
Reproduce only asexually, usually by fission or budding.
Exist only as a single-celled organism, some move around using flagellum.
Found in organisms that belong to the kingdoms Archeabacteria and Eubacteria.
DNA floats freely around.
Ribosomes found within the cells
DNA found inside the cell.
Cells’ organelles are surrounded by a membrane.
Found in organisms that belong to the domain Eukaryata.
Ten times larger than the other cell type.
Exhibit higher levels of division of labor.
Some organisms of the cell type are unicellular, others are munlticellular.
Cell DNA found within a membrane covered nucleus.

10. I need to remember…….. Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus.
In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is surrounded by a membrane.
Both types of cells have ribosomes.
Some eukaryotic cells and all prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a cell wall.
Eukaryotic cells have organelles surrounded by membranes.
Prokaryotic cells can reproduce only asexually, by fission or budding.
Eukaryotic cells reproduce asexually and sexually.
