Compare And Contrast The Five Kingdoms Of Prokaryotes

You can identify a eukaryotic cell by its encased nucleus, containing the majority of its DNA and organelles surrounded by a membrane. Plant and Animal cells have double membranes and a housed nucleus therefore they are eukaryotic cells; organisms which do not contain a double membrane and an encased nucleus are known as prokaryotes, e.g. bacteria. The eukaryotic cell is made up of many membrane bound organelles which all have a specific function.

The biggest difference would be that eukaryotes have a nucleus where they store their genetic material. Although prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, they have a general nucleoid region. Also, prokaryotes are generally smaller than eukaryotes. Meaning, prokaryotic cells are usually ten times smaller than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles like eukaryotic cells. Because of the types of organelles eukaryotes have, they can have higher levels of intracellular division than what prokaryotes can have. The DNA in eukaryotes is much more complex than the DNA found in prokaryotes. One would find the DNA of a eukaryote in it’s nucleus, and the DNA of a prokaryote floating freely around the cell. Though both types of cells can have a cell wall, the cell wall of a prokaryote is composed of Peptidoglycan.

Fungi are multi-celled organisms that form a third Kingdom of life, along with the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.

Summarize the hierarchy of organization found in complex multicellular organisms: Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle, biological molecule,

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The chromosomes which are found in prokaryotes are usually spread in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells the chromosomes remain together inside the nucleus and there is a clear nuclear membrane that is surrounding the nucleus.

7. Know defining characteristics of algae. aquatic, photosynthetic (i.e., chloroplast-containing), Algae can be multicellular or unicellular.

How should the unknown microscopic organisms be classified? The concept of the experiment was to conduct a systematic observation about the traits of unknown organisms, and classify them to the right group. Making detailed observations about the traits, made it possible to identify which cell the trait belonged to because different cells have different traits. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, and has one or more small vacuoles. Plant cells has a cell wall, rectangular (fixed shape), and has a chloroplasts. Cytoplasm, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Ribosomes, Mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus to name a few.

8. What is the purpose of taxonomy? How is it used in biology? [see Taxonomy]

Well prokaryote is the name given to organisms that are made up from cells that lack a cell nucleus or cells that lack any membrane-encased organelles (a specialized subunit within a cell). In lamens terms, in prokaryotes, the DNA is not bound or held together inside a nucleus. Prokaryotes also only have a single loop DNA. Last but not least prokaryotes are divided into groups or domains but more about that in a minute.

The purpose of this study is to identify four unknown organisms. The unknown organisms have been assigned randomly to six-research groups by Professor Hoffman. Each research group was provided two eukaryotes and two prokaryotes. The unknown organisms will fall into the following classifications: bacteria, algae, fungi, or protozoans. All living organisms are organized into one of three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

In the Linnaean classification system, all organisms are placed in a ranked hierarchy.   His system was one of small groups building into larger ones. The current groupings of organisms from largest to smallest are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species

Bacterial cells and eukaryotes both have a cell wall. The cell wall is what gives the cells its unique shape and size. The cell wall in bacterial cells are made up of carbohydrates, proteins and peptidoglycan. The cell wall in bacteria protects the cell from damages to the cell and has a inelastic shape just outside the plasma membrane. The cell wall of

Bacteria are rarely seen as individual cells. Most are detected in chains and small clusters. The cellular structures of bacteria are almost universal for all types. The genetic material of bacteria is DNA. Unlike plant, animal and other cells bacterial cells do not have a nucleus that encloses the DNA. They do have a cytoplasm which is the fluid inside of every cell and also ribosome which are the centers of protein synthesis.

Prokaryotic Cells All living things are made of cells, and cells are the smallest units that can be alive. Life on Earth is classified into five kingdoms, and they each have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division is between the cells of the prokaryote kingdom (monera, the bacteria) and those of the other four kingdoms (animals, plants, fungi and protoctista), which are all eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, and do not have a nucleus. Prokaryotic means 'pre-nucleus' and eukaryotic means 'true nucleus'.

In regards to their basic structure, according to the SEER Training website, “cells consist of three parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and, between the two, the cytoplasm.” (Training.seer.cancer.gov, 2017) This is true for animal cells however plant cells contain a fourth part which is known as the cell wall, it is located on the outside of the cell membrane and allows the cell to keep its rigid shape. It should also be known that there are types of cells that do not contain a nucleus, these are called prokaryotic cells and generally still have the same characteristics as cells that do have a nucleus which are known as eukaryotic cells. (Study.com, 2017) As seen in Figure 1 cells also contain organelles which keep the cell alive and allow it to function effectively.The cytoplasm of the cell which resides between the cell membrane and the nucleus is a gel-like liquid filling the inside of the cell. The cytoplasm allows the cell to have shape and allows the cell 's organelles to move around the cell as needed and function correctly. The nucleus is widely considered to be the control center or
