    two major groups that cells can be grouped into to. These are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. All eukaryotic cells contain a plasma membrane, as well as cytoplasm and organelles such as mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, ribosomes, a nucleus which is surrounded by a double membrane known as the nuclear envelope, and secretory vesicles. There are some eukaryotic cells which contain more organelles as well as theses. Some eukaryotic cells, specifically in plants

    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

    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 are the basic unit of all living things. The two most important types of cells are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These two types of cells differ in many ways, but they also share similarities. One thing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common is that they both contain a plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Another similarity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that they contain ribosomes. Prokaryotic cells are usually single-celled organisms much small than eukaryotic cells. Bacteria

    Introduction In this lab, we observed different prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and then we observed a termite gut to see the different unicellular microorganisms that it contained. The purpose of this lab is to observe living and prepared bacterial cells, then describe their morphology, observe and describe the primary features of the eukaryotic cell, and to investigate and observe the organisms involved in a symbiotic relationship. By observing these things, we are hoping to find out what we

    diagram shows a prokaryotic cell. These cells have a simple cell structure and are thought to have been the first cells to have appeared on earth (Clark, 1998). Most prokaryotic cells are single-celled and none are found in living animals, it is mainly bacteria or algae that it is found in. The chemicals and enzymes are contained in the cytoplasm and are used for the cells growth. The cytoplasm is a jellylike mixture that is packaged into the membrane that forms the cell boundary. This cell does not contain

    1. Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Be sure to address cell structure, replication (including DNA replication) and gene expression. The cell structure of prokaryotic organisms is small, only about 1-10 microns in length, and they are also single celled. Prokaryotes contain circular DNA which is held in the nucleoid because they lack a nucleus. The specific organisms that have circular DNA are: mitochondrial, bacterial (eubacteria), and Archaea (Methanobacteria, Halobacteria

    The cell cycle is the lifespan of the cell from the time it is formed until it divides into two daughter cells. Cell division is the continuity of life based upon the reproduction of the cell. The genetic information that a cell contains is called the cell’s genome. Prokaryotic cells consist of only one genetic molecule. While eukaryotic cells consist of many genetic molecules, or DNA. Chromosomes are the structures that DNA is packed into, this makes replication and distribution of so much DNA easy

    An prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are different in many ways.A prokaryotic cell means a microscopic single celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane,and mitochondria,or an membrane bound organelle.The prokaryotic cell is like an apartment, it supports the person with living space, but is small and simple at the same time.An eukaryotic cell is any organism whoose cell contains an nucleus, and other membrane bond and organells.An example of an eukaryotic cell is an mansion

    Cells are the most basic unit of life known in the world today. While they are basic and small, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Two key cell types include prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Both living cell types work to form every living organism in the environment. However, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells hold many key factors that differentiate them from one another. These key differences include shape, domain, transportation, division as well as many other structural and functional
