Two Basic Types

  • Remember….cells are the basic unit of life for ALL living things.

MAKE A VENN DIAGRAM- jk mme l’a fait

  • There are two basic types of cells:
    1. cellule Prokaryote cells – found in bacteria
    2. cellule Eukaryote – simple organisms that is a fungi, plant and animal. ex: A potato!

Characteristics Shared (goes in the middle section)

  • Perform the same basic functions
  • Surrounded by plasma membrane (to control what enters and leaves the cell)
  • “Filled” with cytoplasm (gooey stuff inside a cell)
  • Contain ribosomes to make protein
  • Contain DNA to give the general instructions for the cell’s life

What Makes Eukaryotic Cells Different?

  • Much larger
  • Much more complex

​

  • Contain a true nucleus + (DNA)
  • Contains specialized structures in the cytoplasm called organelles to carry out various functions
  • Not all have a cell wall

What does size have to do with it?

  • Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. Why?
    • Smaller surface area to volume allows nutrients to easily and quickly reach inner parts of the cell.
    • Eukaryotic cells are larger and can not pass nutrients as quickly. They require specialized organelles to:
      • carry out metabolism
      • provide energy
      • transport chemicals throughout the cell
