THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CELLS:
Prokaryotic Cells
and
Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotes
Bacteria
Eukaryotes
Animal Plant
THESE ARE TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF
CELLS WITH STRUCTURAL
DIFFERENCES.
PROKARYOTE CELL
A single celled
organism that
does not have a
nucleus.
TRAITS OF PROKARYOTES:
They do not have a nucleus, and their genetic material is
not stored in the nucleus.
They have some organelles, but not many.
They are small ,size ranging from 1 to 10 µm.
All bacteria and blue- green algae
They have a rigid cell wall containing polysaccharide murein
Flagella if present lack microtubules.
EUKARYOTE CELL
A more complex
cell with a
nucleus and many
organelles.
TRAITS OF EUKARYOTES:
•They all have a distinct nucleus where the genetic material
of the cell is stored.
•They have many organelles that work together to help the
cell function.
•They are large usually between 10 and 100 µm.
•
Cell wall is found in plants and fungi .
•Flagella have microtubules
•Examples : plants , animals,fungi and protoctists
What do you think is
the main
difference between
a prokaryotic cell
and a eukaryotic
cell?
The nucleus!
Prokaryotic cells do not
have a nucleus and
eukaryotic cells do have a
nucleus. This allows
eukaryotic cells to make
multi-cellular organisms
and perform more complex
functions.
