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

Cells and Movement of Substances All living things are formed by cells‚ the structure of these cells varying depending on their function. Animal and plant cells have common features such as a nucleus‚ cytoplasm and cell membrane. Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion Diffusion Diffusion definition: Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Dissolved

_____ Chapter 8-1: Cell Growth and Division Does your body grow by adding more cells‚ or by individual cells growing larger? what is the connection between surface area of a cell and how quickly the cell can exchange water‚ oxygen‚ food and wastes? what is the connection between volume of a cell and how quickly the cell uses up oxygen and food and produces wastes? What happens to surface area and volume as a cell gets larger? Describe the two main reasons why cell size is limited Compare

Animal Cells Every once living thing is composed of cells. Cells are small organisms that control everything in living things. When an organism is made of one or more cells it is called a multi cellular organism. The first person to discover cells was Richard Hooke. The cells that he saw were the dead cells of cork. When he first saw them they reminded him of the cells that nearby monks lived in. there are many different parts of the cell but all serve a purpose. These many parts of the cells are
Premium Cell Organelle Eukaryote
In life’s hierarchy‚ cells make up the lowest level of organization. Cells can perform activities required to sustain life. A cell’s ability to divide to form new cells is the basis for growth and repair in organisms. Cells also play a key role in the recycling of carbon‚ a chemical element essential to life‚ and also participate in cellular processes such as photosynthesis. With these points in mind‚ it should be noted that cells come in one of two forms: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. By investigating

1.) Cells are complex and incredible structures that through series of reactions can create cellular energy‚ reproduce genetic material and eliminate waste products. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells and it is believed that they evolved from prokaryotes. What are 3 major characteristics that distinguish eukaryotes from prokaryotes? Choose 2 pieces of evidence (that we learned about in class) and explain how they support the theory that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes

Free Cell Endoplasmic reticulum Organelle
1. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus‚ bound by a double membrane. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. The purpose of the nucleus is to sequester the DNA-related functions of the big eukaryotic cell into a smaller chamber‚ for the purpose of increased efficiency. This function is unnecessary for the prokaryotic cell‚ because its much smaller size means that all materials within the cell are relatively close together. Of course‚ prokaryotic cells do have DNA and DNA functions. Biologists describe
