Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells
In your notes, set up a chart that looks like this… Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells While all cells share 3 characteristics: Surrounded by a cell membraneSurrounded by a cell membrane Contain genetic material (DNA)Contain genetic material (DNA) Have ribosomesHave ribosomes They are divided into 2 broad categories: 1. Prokaryotic Cells (prokaryotes) 2. Eukaryotic Cells (eukaryotes)
Find the similarities and differences in these 2 types of cells DNA cytoplasm Cell membrane
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Both prokaryotes & eukaryotes have a cell membrane cell membrane
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Both prokaryotes & eukaryotes have Chromatin (DNA): chromatin
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Both prokaryotes & eukaryotes have ribosomes
Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes Eukaryotic Cells (eukaryotes) Average size: micrometers Example: animal & plant cells, amoeba Prokaryotic Cells (prokaryotes) Average size: 1 micrometer Example: bacteria
