Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. This feature gives them their name‚ (also spelled "eucaryote‚") which comes from the Greek word referring to the nucleus. Animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and protists are eukaryotes. Microorganisms and all other living organisms are classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are distinguished on the

A) Two main forms of cells exist: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and do not have membrane-bound nucleus or membrane- bound organelles‚ but do have: plasma membrane‚ cytosol and cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes. Prokaryotes contain much less DNA than eukaryotes and have circular chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells have information processing organelles‚ such as the nucleus which houses most of the cell’s DNA‚ and ribosomes which use information from DNA to produce proteins

The Evolution of Eukaryotic Cells from Prokaryotic Cells DNA- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)‚ a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms‚ is the acid that carries genetic information. RNA- Ribonucleic acid (RNA)‚ is an acid that is present in all living cells‚ it’s main role is to act as messenger and carry instructions from DNA fro controlling the synthesis of proteins. What are Eukaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Organisms? A eukaryotic cell is a cell that contains complex

THE ORGANELLES OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS . The difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells is organelles‚ membrane enclosed structures that perform specific duties. The most important of all is the “nucleus‚” this holds the DNA and is surrounded by a double membrane. The Prokaryotic lacks a nucleus which is not partitioned from the other cells by membranes. The region between the nucleus and plasma membrane is called cytoplasm and in the Eukaryotic cell it consists of various

it has a greater magnification‚ so you can see more detail about the organism. It would be preferable to use a light microscope when you want to see the cell in the act of moving or dividing. 2. Prokaryotic cells don’t have organelles like eukaryotic cells do. Eukaryotic cells contain its DNA within its nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells keep it within the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are also more minute than the eukaryotic cells. Also although they both contain ribosomes‚ they are composed differently

The cell is the basic unit of all life. All living things-- tigers‚ trees‚ elephants‚ and men-- are made up of cells. A cell is alive-- as alive as you are. It breathes‚ takes in food‚ and gets rid of waste. It grows and reproduces‚ or creates one of its own kind. (Garrod 36) Most cells reproduce by dividing‚ so that there are two cells where there once was one. (Akkas 78) Every living thing is made up of one or more cells‚ and each of these cells was produced by an already existing cell. New cells

In addition‚ you must label or provide a key to all parts and organelles so that they are clearly identifiable. You

groups‚ or domains‚ of closely related organisms: Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukaryota. Archaea and Bacteria are small‚ simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall‚ with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes. They do not contain a nucleus or other internal structures that higher cells may have. These are called prokaryotes. Basically all the life you see today‚ including plants and animals‚ belongs to the third domain‚ Eukaryota. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotes; the

Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic Cells Introduction: The Cell: The cell is a functional unit of all living organisms. Cells have evolved into two fundamentally different types‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic‚ which can be distinguished on the basis of their structure and the complexity of their organization. The simplest organisms which consist of one cell are called prokaryotes. More complex organisms are called eukaryotes and they consist of many cells. Objectives: * Define the terms: Eukaryotes

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Cells are the basic building block of life. Cells can be either Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic cells. Organism can only contain either one but not both of them. Prokaryotic cells are usually much smaller than Eukaryotic and are less complex. Bacteria are made up of one or more prokaryotic cells. Bacteria are made up of one or more prokaryotic cells. While Eukaryotic cell are found inside plant and animal life. Eukaryotic are more advanced and larger. Prokaryotic cell were the
